July 26, 2007 (LPAC)--British Prime Minister Gordon Brown has been caught in the BAE 'Scandal of the Century' cover-up, ordering the closure of the Defense Export Services Organization, trying to bury the evidence concerning the government agency's involvement in the 20-year, multi-billion dollar "Al Yamamah" arms deal. This, after three MPs on the House of Commons' Public Accounts Committee had written to the National Audit Office to investigate the role of DESO. This, after the Serious Fraud Office investigation was shut down by outgoing PM Tony Blair, as an earlier part of the same cover-up operation!

A representative from the Public Accounts Committee told EIR News Service that on July 11, Liberal Democrat John Pugh, a member of the same committee, recently wrote to the National Audit Office, requesting that they investigate the DESO. The head of the office, Sir John Bourn, a Ministry of Defense official in the 1980s when the BAE-Al Yamamah was negotiated, refused to allow Ministry of Defense police and the Serious Fraud Office to review a report the audit office wrote over 14 years ago on the Al Yamamah deal.

Perhaps Gordon Brown, who might wish to know his fate, should pay closer attention to LaRouchePAC.com. On June 28, Lyndon LaRouche warned that how the new British Prime Minister Gordon Brown handles the BAE Scandal could determine whether he stays in power, or whether he will fall.
