The United States has imposed economic sanctions on an Indian company and a Jordanian man for selling Iraq equipment for chemical or biological weapons programs, U.S. officials said on Tuesday.
The United States has imposed economic sanctions on an Indian company and a Jordanian man for selling Iraq equipment for chemical or biological weapons programs, U.S. officials said on Tuesday. The Indian company is Protech Consultants Private, Ltd. (India) and the Jordanian man is Mohammed Al-Khatib, spokesman Richard Boucher told a daily briefing. The State Department found them liable to sanctions under the Iran-Iraq Nonproliferation Act of 1992, which aims to discourage the sale of military equipment. \"Penalties were imposed on these entities for knowingly and materially contributing to Iraq\'s chemical and biological weapons program,\" Boucher said. A senior official who asked not to be named said Protech and Khatib had exported equipment to Iraq for a number of years. He declined to be more specific. For the next two years, the U.S. government will not buy any goods or services from Protech or Khatib and will not issue any license for any export by them or to them. (Reuters)
