WASHINGTON - All Headline News reported that a federal grand jury has indicted Noshir Gowadia, a Northrop Grumman engineer, for allegedly transferring classified military information to China, Israel, Germany, and Switzerland.
The report said that Gowadia, a 62-year-old Indian-born engineer who worked for 18 years at Northrop Grumman could face the death penalty if convicted. A grand jury handed down an 18-count federal charge indictment on Nov. 15. He is expected to face trial in January 2007 in Honolulu.
All Headline News reported that in addition to allegedly offering Israel, Germany and Switzerland "top secret" data about US weapons' technology, Gowadia is accused of selling detailed information on the technology used in the development of B-2 bomber engines, considered by the Pentagon as being "at the head of the list of China's intelligence target."
According to Assistant Attorney General Kenneth Wainstein was quoted as saying, "As charged in the superseding indictment, the defendant in this case attempted to profit from his know-how and his knowledge of sensitive military technology."
Gowadia founded his own engineering and consulting company in 1999, and worked as a design engineer for Northrop from 1968 to 1986. According to an affidavit, he marketed himself to foreign countries as the "father" of the classified technology that helps protect B-2 stealth bombers from heat-seeking missiles. In the 1990s Gowadia was a contract engineer at the Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico.
The FBI claims Gowadia pleaded guilty to selling information, this after 40 boxes and seven hard drives that contained classified information were found during a search of his home.
