U.N. Procurement Scandal: Ties to Saddam and Al Qaeda

[EricCartman]

More bad news for the United Nations. Not that I revile in that or anything, this is actually the most serious accusation that has been leveled thus far concerning the oil for food scandal. The American public already dislikes the U.N, what will happen if this proves to be accurate?

NEW YORK — The scandal engulfing the United Nations Procurement Department (search) now appears to be bottomless. It also shows signs of growing more sinister, especially where it involves a mysterious private company called IHC Services (search), which did big business with the procurement department until it was removed from U.N. rosters in June. New details of how dark the scandal could prove to be have emerged from the private sale of IHC on June 3, 2005, just as the procurement scandal was about to break. It now appears that while doing business with the U.N., IHC had links both to Saddam Hussein’s old sanctions-busting networks, and to a Liechtenstein-based businessman, Engelbert Schreiber, Jr., known among other things for his ties to a figure designated by the U.N. itself as a financier of Al Qaeda

More corruption at the U.N.

Heh. They really should clean up their act.

Not that the U.N. losing credibility is a bad thing.

Looks like someone is drawing a long bow if you ask me... Want to talk about corruption? How about the links with Haliburton and assorted other businesses that the present US administration has.
