Russia in major deal to rearm Iraq, newspaper reports Copyright © 1999 Nando Media Copyright © 1999 Reuters News Service LONDON (February 13, 1999 7:29 p.m. EST nandotimes.com) - Britain's Sunday Telegraph newspaper reported that Russia has signed arms deals with Iraq worth more than $162 million in a breach of the United Nations arms embargo. Quoting unamed diplomatic sources in Moscow, the newspaper said Russia had agreed to upgrade and overhaul Iraq's aging squadrons of MiG jet fighters and restore Iraq's defenses to combat readiness. It said the deals were signed in Moscow in January after a visit to Russia in December by Iraqi deputy prime minister Tareq Aziz. The newspaper suggested the deals were undertaken as much by Russia's desire for hard currency as retaliation for British and U.S. bombing raids on Iraq in December. Russia, a longstanding ally of Iraq, bitterly opposed the air attacks. The British Foreign Office said it would investigate the claims made by the Sunday Telegraph. "We take seriously all allegations of breaches of UN sanctions against Iraq and we will look into this," a spokesman told Reuters. The spokesman said it was possible that the claims could be raised with the Russians by Foreign Secretary Robin Cook, who hopes to visit Moscow in the near future. nando.net
