The last days of Allawi? (Jan 23 2005 02:59 GMT) - In the wake of the latest Ahmad Chalabi controversy, I suppose it's only natural that the New York Times would step forward with Ahmad's side of the story: Earlier this month, according to Iraqi officials, $300 million in American bills was taken out of Iraq's Central Bank, put into boxes and quietly put on a charter jet bound for Lebanon. The money was to be used to buy tanks and other weapons from international arms dealers, the officials say, as part of an accelerated effort to assemble an armored division for the fledgling Iraqi Army. But exactly where the money went, and to whom, and for precisely what, remains a mystery, at least to Iraqis who say they have been trying to find out. . |
