A "US" man was jailed for 25 years on Monday for smuggling goods including surface-to-air missiles from China in the first conviction under a 2004 anti-terrorism law, officials said.
Yi Qing Chen was convicted last October on charges of smuggling drugs and counterfeit cigarettes as well as conspiring to import missile systems designed to destroy aircraft, the FBI said.
The evidence presented during the two-week trial showed that Chen, 49, conspired to smuggle Chinese-made QW-2 shoulder-fired missiles into the United States. |
