3 Iranian businessmen disappear in Turkey
2007-03-09
Three Iranians disappeared in Turkey, following allegations that they attempted to smuggle missiles into Iran, it was reported on Friday. Turkish newspapers reported Friday morning that the three Iranians, who owned Turkish companies operating, disappeared late last year following their attempts to smuggle spare used missile parts to Iran. Reportedly, the attempt to export American-made rocket pieces to Iran, was foiled when Turkish customs informed the US authorities of the sale.
Huummmm, old HAWK parts maybe?
Turkish newspapers reported that the three Iranians disappeared shortly after the incident, last December.
Cover was blown and they skipped town.

Hmmm.

#2  I'm not so sure. I doubt the Turks have much of a penalty, and they would be giving up their businesses in Turkey. That is, I wonder if they actually *did* "disappear", like that diplomat.
