Not unprecedented. The a-holes sold submarine quieting technology to the Soviets. I believe that Toshiba was the guilty party in that case.

From another source, Japan Accuses 5 of Exporting Equipment With Nuclear Uses, we find:

"While the police provided few details, reports in the Japanese news media said the devices had been sold to Scomi Precision Engineering, a company that was later linked to Abdul Qadeer Khan, the Pakistani nuclear scientist who sold nuclear technology to Libya."

Well, what do you know; it's our old buddie A. Q. He sure did get around. I think he'd make a great figure in a series of Bond flicks. Of course, he would have to work for Specter.
