Private group files complaints against Chirac
Here's some news to cheer you upA conservative group filed complaints Friday against French President Jacques Chirac, demanding that international police investigate his alleged role in unlawful proliferation of nuclear technology and arms trafficking. Judicial Watch's complaints, which are based on news accounts, also allege violations by French officials, politicians and corporations of United Nations trade sanctions imposed against Iraq after the 1991 Gulf War and of the U.N. ''oil-for-food'' program. The complaints to the International Criminal Police Organization and the European Police Office reproduce a 1975 photo of Saddam Hussein then vice president of Iraq touring a nuclear power station in France with Chirac, France's prime minister at the time. ''French industry and business has aggressively and consistently pursued business opportunities with Saddam Hussein's Baathist Party-controlled industry and economy of Iraq, with the blessings and endorsement of the French government,'' the complaints stated.
