A secret supply line to terrorists

An American security agency has unearthed a most dangerous underground network, supplying electrical kits for making roadside bombs. The snake-like supply line runs through three-quarters of the world - from America through England to Iran; or more accurately, from England through America to Iran, and other regions. Its head was discovered in London!
If the sensational story has not made headlines - indeed it has even not found space in the mainstream media - the reason is the main culprit in the terror chain is a Jewish man. The harsh irony is that it was a Zionist media organ which broke, or rather was forced to break, the silence on the malevolent network.
The Jewish Chronicle (October 10, 2008) divulged the story under the headline Shul-goer denies Terror Plot Role. The story, marked Exclusive, said, "A man facing extradition to the United States on terrorism charges has spoken of his nightmare at being linked to attacks on Coalition troops in Iraq. Farshid Gillardian, 39, from Hendon, London, is accused by United States authorities of being part of a network that supplied components used to make roadside bombs which have killed soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan."
It appeared that the magazine's main object in publishing the news was to alert the influential Jewish community to help the man get out of his dire situation. To give him a plus point, it is mentioned that he goes to synagogue. Much of the story is meant to plead for mitigation of the charges against the accused man and to appeal against his likely extradition. However, there are enough circumstantial details in it, and when these are combined with other known information, the case comes out quite clearly.
Farshid Gillardian had been traced out by the investigators in America in August 2008. They put the British Scotland Yard in the picture and in September issued a charge sheet and a warrant for arresting Gillardian and extraditing him to the United States. He was arrested by the British police and was remanded in custody.
"Prosecutors claim that the network [operated by Gillardian] illegally transported more than 30,000 electronic components - identical to those found in the bombs - from the US to Iran, thereby breaching export rules."
"The indictment accuses Farshid Gillardian and the network, which includes people in Iran, Dubai, Malaysia and Germany, of taking part [in the illegal activity] for financial gain."
Gillardian had plenty to say in his defence but he admitted having an outreach business in electrical components and contacts in Iran. According to the story, "He said that he owns a company which buys and sells electrical components. Among his international clients, he has one in Iran. But, he insisted, the electronic chips he sold were for use in computers or household electrical goods. He said he was winding down his company as it was making very little money.
