LITTLE ROCK, Ark. -- Two shipping company employees, one Arab and one
Israeli, have pleaded guilty in connection with a planned shipment of
night-vision goggles to the Lebanese terrorist organization Hezbollah,
authorities said.

Naji Antoine Abi Khalil, 40, of Montreal and originally from Lebanon,
entered three guilty pleas Tuesday in Little Rock, including
attempting to provide material support for Hezbollah.

The U.S. Attorney's office in New York also announced that Tomer
Grinberg had pleaded guilty July 28 to conspiracy to export sensitive
military equipment without proper licenses.

Both men face the possibility of long prison terms. They were arrested
in New York in May after an investigation by FBI agents, Scotland Yard
detectives and Canadian Mounties.
