Associated Press

   NEW YORK - A New York company has been charged with illegally importing
   and selling Chinese-made surveillance and security equipment to U.S.
   government agencies and private customers.

   The U.S. attorney's office for eastern New York says seven current or
   former employees of the company are also charged.

   The case involves a company on Long Island. Authorities did not divulge
   its name or those of the employees.

   U.S. Attorney Richard P. Donoghue plans to discuss details at a news
   conference Thursday in Brooklyn.
