Hey Scum, it seems that it is your Jewish-American comrades who are stealing nuclear secrets to create illegal nuclear weapons in Israel! (You said you were from the West? Exactly where is your Fundamentalist Settlement in the West Bank? Prison sentence for scientist over export of potential nuclear triggers to Israel Tuesday, April 30, 2002 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (04-30) 07:02 PDT LOS ANGELES (AP) -- A physicist has been sentenced to 40 months in federal prison and fined $20,000 for illegally exporting to Israel tiny electronic components that could be used as triggers for nuclear weapons. Richard Kelly Smyth, 72, who spent 16 years as a fugitive, was immediately made eligible for parole at Monday's sentencing. The exported items were tiny devices called krytrons, which can be used in high-speed photography, strobe lighting and photocopying machines. It was their other use in nuclear triggers that led to U.S. export controls. Smyth pleaded guilty in December to one count of violating the Arms Export Control Act and a count of making a false statement to Customs agents. Prosecutors dropped 28 other counts. Smyth was president of Milco International Inc. of Huntington Beach when the krytrons were sold to an Israeli company, Heli Corp. The owner of Heli Corp. at the time, Arnon Milchan, denied any involvement in the $60,000 krytron deal, but said on CBS' "60 Minutes" in 2000 that he had allowed the Israeli government to use his company as a conduit for trading with the United States. Israel returned most of the krytrons after Smyth's indictment and contended they were never intended for use in nuclear weapons. Smyth jumped bail in 1985 while awaiting trial. Last July, he and his wife were located in Spain.
