Reporter, Female #2 It seems the deal Iraq struck with the United States, which included buying 36 advanced F-16 fighter jets, with the first batch arriving in March, may not be completed. The Iraqi parliamentary Security and Defense Committee called for canceling the deal to purchase American planes if the US refuses to replace the Israeli-made recording devices they contain. Reporter, Female #2 The devices were detected by officers in the Iraqi air force. The committee confirmed that it will interrogate those responsible for the deal to find out why the aircrafts contain an Israeli information recording device. It also formed a technical committee to determine the amount of harm caused by this device, in addition to finding a strong technical mechanism that would allow removing the recording device without damaging the structure and work of the aircraft, while providing them with other anti-spyware devices. Reporter, Female #2 However, member of the Foreign Relations Committee, Member of Parliament Asma al-Mousawi, assured that it is not possible to cancel the deal for the sake of responding to personal demands. She ruled out canceling the deal unless legally prescribed. Reporter, Female #2 However, she clarified that discovering the recording device among the components of the American aircraft is a good thing, and that it benefits the Iraqi air force since it discovered the matter during a mere inspection of the capabilities of the aircraft. This comes as pilots in the countries of the region that have been importing these same aircrafts for years, and specifically Saudi Arabia, have failed to discover the device. But these countries, and in their forefront Saudi Arabia that owns Israeli-made radars, will not be deterred by such devices inside its planes. Reporter, Female #2 In 2010, Saudi Arabia signed a 60 billion dollar weapons contract with the United States, and since such deals require the approval of Israel, the latter approved it on condition it receives its own share. Israel told Saudi Arabia to buy its radars, radars that are obviously not as advanced as Israel's, but the same can be said for the entire deal. ** Contact Mosaic News: mosaicnews{at}linktv{dot}org http://news.linktv.org/videos/obama-turns-down-taiwan-on-new-f-16s?start=0 Next Media Animation pokes fun at the Obama administration's announcement that it will upgrade Taiwan's F-16 fleet instead of selling new planes to the country.
