Chinese man admits plot to import 200 shoulder-fired missiles to US (for bringing down airplanes)

[w¡n9Nµ7 §£@¥€r 123]

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - A Chinese national living in Southern California admitted on Wednesday trying to arrange the sale from China to the United States of 200 shoulder-fired missiles that can be used to bring down airplanes.

Chao Tung Wu, 51, pleaded guilty in Los Angeles federal court to conspiring to import the missiles for a buyer who turned out to be an undercover FBI agent.

When Wu was indicted in November along with another man, Yi Qing Chen, they became the first people charged under a 2004 U.S. law forbidding the import of aircraft-destroying missile systems into the United States, officials said.

These people get busted buying from undercover agents. Are there any busts where people are dealing with real illegal arms importers?
