A man accused of ordering illegal nuclear equipment has been extradited to Germany.
Pakistani national Iqtidar Mahmood Dara was extradited from Heathrow Airport.
The 44-year-old is accused of ordering the equipment from a German chemist with the aim of developing nuclear weapons in Pakistan.
Mr Dara was arrested by the Metropolitan Police on behalf of the German authorities when he entered Britain on 4 April.
It is alleged that, between 14 August 2002 and 24 November 2003, Dara ordered a liquid waste monitor, two detection systems and an alpha-gamma spectrometry system.
His extradition was ordered by Bow Street Magistrates' Court on 8 May and took place after he lost subsequent appeals.
