Iraq Sought Poland's Scrap for Edge
by Jeremy at 4:19 pm EST, Jan 1, 2004

Arms brokers and spies built a clandestine network to acquire rusting Soviet Bloc engine parts to illegally extend missiles' range.

... Haitham Sabbagh, owner of STC, a heating and air-conditioning firm in Damascus, denied that his firm ever dealt with Iraqis or with Polish suppliers, even after paperwork related to the Polish deal and bearing his letterhead were presented to him.

Under questioning, Sabbagh grew edgy. "You have a passport and can leave here. I don't want to speak of this anymore. What can I do about this? The people doing this are much bigger than I."

This article is the conclusion of a two-part series entitled "The Weapons Files" that is the product of an extensive review of documents seized in Iraq.
