Three Los Angeles-area men charged with attempting to export plans for the nation’s newest “cluster bomb” weapons system to Saudi Arabia and Iraq pleaded innocent and were ordered to stand trial April 28 before U.S. District Judge Pamela Rymer. Richard Schroeder, 55, of Diamond Bar; Anthony Cenci, 61, of Costa Mesa and Richard P. Nortman, 59, of Los Angeles, are charged with conspiring to export restricted technical data, receiving stolen government property and violating the U.S. Arms Export Control Act in connection with solicitations they allegedly made to foreign governments offering to help develop and manufacture the restricted weapon at a price of at least $200 million. Attorneys for the three men, who are being held without bail pending trial, said they will seek to have bail set next week.
