Audit:
Iraq
missing
$8.7B
The report says more than
95 percent of the money that
is to go to reconstructing the
country is unaccounted for.
By TAREK EL-TABLAWY
Associated Press
BAGHDAD — A U.S. audit has found that
the Pentagon cannot account for more than 95
percent of $9.1 billion in Iraq reconstruction
money, spotlighting Iraqi complaints that
there is little to show for the massive funds
pumped into their cash-strapped, war-ravaged
nation.
The $8.7 billion in question was Iraqi
money managed by the Pentagon, not part of
the $53 billion that Congress has allocated for
rebuilding. It’s cash that Iraq, which relies on
volatile oil revenues to fuel its spending, can
ill afford to lose.
“Iraq should take legal action to get back
this huge amount of money,” said Sabah al-
Saedi, chairman of the Parliamentary Integri-
ty Committee. The money “should be spent for
rebuilding the country and providing services
for this poor nation.”
The report by the Special Inspector Gener-
al for Iraq Reconstruction accused the De-
fense Department of lax oversight and weak
controls, though not fraud.
