GALLONS FOR GALLOWAY
Page 72 of the independent inquiry committee’s oil-for-food report:
Ministry of Oil records show that from Phases VIII through XIII a total of 18 million barrels of oil were allocated to Mr Galloway, either directly or indirectly through Mr. Zureikat, and nearly two-thirds of the oil was lifted. According to Iraqi officials, oil allocations were granted to fund Mr. Galloway’s anti-sanctions activities. Iraqi officials identified Mr. Zureikat as acting on Mr. Galloway’s behalf to conduct the oil transactions in Baghdad.
