Weapons dossier reveals corporations { December 7 2002 }
>Subject: Censored: Corporations That Supplied Iraq
The Corporations That Supplied Iraq's Weapons Program
>>> Even before Iraq released its weapons-program dossier on 7 December 2002,
it was said that the report would name the corporations that supplied Iraq
with the equipment and other material it needed to develop biological,
chemical, and nuclear weapons. Soon after the report was released, those
suspicions were confirmed. Sources who had seen the report said that it
identified suppliers from the US, UK, Germany, France, China, and elsewhere.
Now, that part of the report has been leaked. The leftist German daily
newspaper Die Tageszeitung received portions of the original, uncensored
12,000-page dossier. (The names of the corporations have been blacked out of
the version of the report given to the ten non-permanent members of the
Security Council.) The paper has printed the list, presented below.
