This project may have connections to Alavi Foundation. This foundation is believed to be associated with Iran's covert efforts to obtain dual-related technology. Details on the Alavi Foundation can be found in: Kenneth R. Timmerman, Islamic Iran's American Base, The American Spectator, December 1995

Timmerman reports that in 1996 two former members of the Alavi foundation were under investigation by the FBI for nuclear smuggling. Iran Brief, March 4, 1996

Whether this smuggling incident is related to revelations about members of bin Laden's group attempting to acquire nuclear material is not known at the present time.
