LOS ANGELES-A computer technician was charged with attempting to export to Iran more than 100 pressure sensors that could be misused as components in explosive devices, federal authorities said.
Mohammad Fazeli, 27, pleaded not guilty to the three-count indictment charging him with conspiracy, making false statements and violating a U.S. embargo prohibiting trade with Iran.
The sensors are built to detect the pressure of liquid or gas, but federal investigators are concerned that they could be misused to detonate explosive devices.
