1. Here's a little more info on Kohn and his International connections
Waging war on state's illegal arms trade

MICHAEL P. MAYKO in the Connecticut Post -- Monday, August 2, 2004

They shopped for radar components for HAWK missile systems and Phantom F-4 fighter jets in Connecticut. They purchased Black Hawk helicopter engines and illegally shipped them to China. They enlisted companies to export helicopter gun mounts that found their way to Iran and nuclear weapons testing parts that ended up in Pakistan. They are people like Yasmin and Tariq Ahmed of Pakistan and the United Arab Emirates, Kwonhwan Park of South Korea and Leib Kohn, a Hasidic Jew from Brooklyn. In the past 18 months, each has been charged in Connecticut with conspiring to violate federal export laws by attempting to ship military parts overseas without the proper approvals or licenses. Several more cases are under investigation.
