French judge confirms Agosta deal kickback
PARIS: The French judge, investigating corruption charges, confirmed that illegal commissions were paid for the sale of submarines to Pakistan in 1995.Fourteen people, including 11 French nationals, were killed and 18 others, including 10 foreigners, were injured when a suicide bomber rammed his car into a Pakistan Navy bus near the Sheraton Hotel, setting off an incendiary device.
Charges emerged in France last year that the attack was carried out after differences over payment of commissions involving top figures in both Pakistan and France. The list included President Nicolas Sarkozy, who was a minister then.
