Fawaz Abdullah Zureikat or Zuraiqat or Zurayqat and variations (born 1955) is a Jordanian businessman. Zureikat was implicated in the United Nations Oil for Food scandal relating to corruption surrounding Iraq's oil exports. In the 2004 Duelfer Report〔http://www.lib.umich.edu/govdocs/pdf/duelfer1_eab.pdf〕 Zureikat is identified as receiving oil allocations from Iraq via Middle East Semi Conductors Co. In other documents, another company - Aredio Petroleum - is also linked to Zureikat. He had been doing business in Iraq since 1986, and his brother Hatem has been a political prisoner in Syria since 1981 who once shared a cell with Tariq Aziz. He donated several hundred thousand pounds to George Galloway's Mariam Appeal campaign. For a time he was station manager of Arab Television (ATV), a short-lived English-language satellite channel with offices in London and Baghdad which filmed and distributed the worldwide rights to the pre-Iraq war interview conducted in Baghdad between Tony Benn and Saddam Hussein. He was also a member of the National Mobilization Committee for the Defense of Iraq (NMCDI), based in Jordan, and a passionate opponent of sanctions on Iraq. He was arrested on 3 March 2003 in Amman by The Jordanian intelligence services, along with other prominent businessmen who had financial links with Saddam Hussein's regime. He was later released. == References == 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Fawaz Zureikat」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
