Taiwan firm: China got Iran part with nuke uses
"Lin said that when he contacted the Swiss firm he had no idea where the transducers were heading. 'It was only at the last minute that the Chinese told me to send them to Iran,' he said.

Nuclear proliferation expert David Albright of the Washington-based Institute for Science and International Security told the AP that Iran tried hard to procure the transducers in Europe and Canada, but was thwarted by a concerted international effort. However, he said, the existence of the Taiwanese-Chinese connection shows that Iran still has the ability to get what it needs by tapping alternative sources.

'This equipment is likely for its gas centrifuge program,' he said."
