WASHINGTON — The United States has imposed sanctions against an Indian company and a Jordanian citizen for proliferation activities in violation of the 1992 Iran-Iraq Arms Nonproliferation Act, according to an announcement in yesterday’s Federal Register (see GSN, Feb. 19).
The Indian company Protech Consultants Private, Ltd. and Jordanian national Mohammed al-Khatib were found in violation of the nonproliferation act for providing support to Iraq’s biological and chemical weapons efforts over the last few years, according to a U.S. State Department official. The sanctions, which took effect Feb. 13, prohibit the United States from purchasing goods from or providing an export license to the two entities for two years.
