Japan is seeking to buy 153,326 metric tons of milling wheat from the U.S., Canada and Australia in a regular tender on July 27, the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries said today. The Asian nation was forecast by the USDA on July 9 to import 5.2 million tons in the 2010-2011 season, making it the world’s fourth-largest buyer.

a slightly misleading post i think since Saladin was a rather more benign leader than the crusaders, which would not be that hard admittedly.
