Pentagon To Investigate Corruption Charges On Mobile Phone Tender In Iraq
There has been a ton of controversy over how mobile phone companies were given the right to build their networks in Iraq, and now the Pentagon is going to step in and investigate the charges of corruption in awarding the rights to build a mobile phone system.

Batelco was then later barred from bidding on a license due to some very strict rules. It certainly sounds sketchy.
