[Washington Post] Spencer S. Hsu - Jacques Monsieur, 56, a Belgian arms dealer, was indicted on Aug. 27 for trying to smuggle fighter-jet engines and parts from the U.S. to Iran, U.S. officials announced Wednesday. Authorities say Monsieur in February contacted a person he thought could supply him with engines for F-5 fighter or C-130 cargo transport aircraft. That person turned out to be an undercover U.S. Customs agent.
