Iraq Suspends Dealings With Australian Wheat Exporter
Iraq has ceased buying wheat from AWB Ltd., Australia's primary wheat exporter, until an Australian Government inquiry examining alleged corruption under the U.N. oil-for-food program is completed. AWB Ltd., which was prominently named in the Volcker Commission report, is alleged to have violated U.N. sanctions by paying millions of dollars to a Jordanian trucking company that was part-owned by the Iraqi government.
