"On Oct. 6, 1999, Butt received an order for F14 Tomcat parts from Office de Distribution et Maintenance (ODM), which prosecutors described as "an international spare parts trading company" based in France that did business in Algeria, Iran, Ivory Coast, Mauritania, Morocco and Tunisia.
On Oct. 19, 1999, Butt shipped electronic parts specifically manufacturer for the F14 Tomcat -- a navigation light, an integrated circuit, 100 demodulators, and five microcircuits -- on Continental Airlines from Houston to ODM's freight forwarder in Frankfurt, Germany, via Newark International Airport.
But the shipment was seized by U.S. Customs representatives at Newark, which quickly determined that the parts were all on the United States Munitions List, requiring a valid export license to ship overseas. Butt had no such license, prosecutors said.
In 1999, only two nations maintained and operated F14 Tomcats -- the United States and Iran, prosecutors said."
