That Shakeel Awan and Imran Awan are not the same as the one from LinkedIn or IT guy. Just coincidence.
This Shakeel Awan has connections to both Huawei and ZTE. Now, I don't know whether he is connected to the Awan's inside the U.S - That is worth investigating though.
This from George Webb on Twatter. His May 2 Twat has been deleted. It references Imran Awan and ZTE, Huawei.
