| Two European banks were yesterday accused by the US Treasury Department of helping Saddam Hussein launder money stolen from the UN oil-for-food programme. American authorities aim to cut the Infobank of Belarus and First Merchant Bank of Cyprus out of the financial system by making mainstream institutions aware of the allegations. The Treasury Department dubbed the banks "primary money laundering concerns" for their failure to combat problems with the oil-for-food scheme. |

| #2 This better be just the beginning of the exposure and punishment for corrupt abetters of Saddam. I am going to relish every story I read about O-F-F criminals facing justice and hope the US will nail every one of these muthahs HARD. |
