$2B from BAE to Bandar
Topic: International Relations 9:46 pm EDT, Jun 14, 2007

A major British arms contractor paid more than $2 billion clandestinely into bank accounts in Washington controlled by Prince Bandar bin Sultan of Saudi Arabia, two British news organizations reported Thursday. Prince Bandar denied accepting “improper secret commissions.”

... the government canceled an official inquiry last December into the claims of corruption that have swirled around the transaction.

Mr. Blair said, “We would have lost thousands, thousands of British jobs.”
