Shamim Mafi, a California green card holder, was arrested at LAX on charges of brokering Iranian weapons sales to Sudan. Federal prosecutors say the 44-year-old Woodland Hills resident was taken into custody Saturday night as she prepared to board a flight to Turkey. She is charged with conspiracy to violate the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) by allegedly brokering Iranian-made weapons, including Mohajer-6 armed drones, to Sudan's Ministry of Defense.
