[Jerusalem Post] Michael Freund - The U.S. government has imposed a $108,000 fine on Rohde and Liesenfeld Inc., a Texas-based subsidiary of a German firm, for repeated violations of American law regarding compliance with the Arab boycott of Israel.

U.S. law requires American companies to report requests for such information to the Commerce Department.
