A Swiss engineer suspected of helping Libya obtain nuclear weapons technology has been arrested in Germany, prosecutors announced on Monday. The engineer is believed to have been part of a clandestine international network, which helped supply equipment for the Libyan government. Authorities allege that 39-year-old Urs Tinner oversaw machine work in Malaysia on gas centrifuge parts that were intercepted by Western intelligence last October on a ship bound for Libya, and trained Libyans in their use. Treason charges are being prepared against the suspect, who was arrested Thursday in Hesse state, German federal prosecutors said.| That'll get his attention. |
