| Remark | Al-Arabi is the ultimate holding company for a number of companies that were engaged in military procurement for the former Iraqi regime. In 1991, Al-Arabi was identified in press articles as a Government of Iraq (GOI) entity involved in procuring parts and equipment for Iraq's nuclear and biological weapons and missiles programs. Al-Arabi was formerly under the Military Industrial Commission and was claimed by Iraq to have been liquidated in November 1993. At that time, Al-Arabi was controlled by a Ministry of Industry and Military Industrialization subordinate called the Technical Corps for Special Projects (TECO or Techcorp). Al-Arabi is the ultimate holding company for over 12 front companies. Al-Arabi owns 99 percent of the UK incorporated company Technology and Development Group Limited which in turn owns TMG Engineering Limited. TDG/TMG were involved in Iraq's arms procurement network during the late 1980s. |
