A North Attleboro man has been arrested and accused of conspiring to smuggle laser equipment for the nuclear power industry to Russia. 

Sam Bhambhani and a man from Russia have both been indicted for smuggling, conspiracy to violate or evade export controls.  The men are accused of trying to help Russia illegally obtain cutting edge, American made technology to support the hostile nation's nuclear power program. 

Bhambhani was released on conditions by a judge in Boston federal court last week.
