	CAAT Publications - The Arabian Connection: The UK Arms Trade to Saudi Arabia
		Al Yamamah II came at the time of a general escalation in the Middle East arms race, involving not only the traditional suppliers such as the US, the Soviet Union, France and the UK, but relative newcomers such as China, Argentina, Brazil and North Korea.
		Despite the initial cash payment, the rest of Al Yamamah II was to be paid for in oil, and there were rumours that the amount might have to be increased from 500,000 to 700,000 barrels per day.
		The Saudis themselves announced that Al Yamamah was being "rescheduled" and the UK government admitted in April 1999 that "adjustments" were being made to Al Yamamah "in response to prevailing economic conditions" (Financial Times, 25.2.99; Hansard, 12.4.99).

		Filling of the Al Samud warhead was a manual process; however, the study recommended that compressing the explosive material into the warhead by using a hydraulic press would improve the density and thus effectiveness and safe handling of the explosive material.
		The Al Fat’h missile (see Figure 6) was a solid-propellant ballistic missile weighing approximately 1,200 kg with an overall length of approximately 6.7 meters and a diameter of 0.5 meter for the main body and 1.4 meters with the aft fin assembly.
		While Al Samud II tests with ranges in excess of 150 km were a factor in the UN’s decision to require that missile’s destruction, no decision by the UN had been made on the Al Fat’h prior to OIF.

	CAAT Publications - The Arabian Connection: The UK Arms Trade to Saudi Arabia (Summary)
		The Al Yamamah sales were a UK endorsement of a country with a history of brutal repression and a "persistent pattern of gross human rights abuses" (Amnesty International Report 1999).
		The Al Yamamah deals are far from the economic godsend that they have been portrayed as, and have earned the UK little, if any, real profit.
		CAAT continues to campaign for the publication of the NAO report into Al Yamamah and perhaps, as the deals wind down, this may be forthcoming, though as yet there is no sign of such a move.

		The ’20 billion Al Yamamah deals with Saudi Arabia were signed by Margaret Thatcher in 1985 and 1988, and included the sale of Tornado and Hawk aircraft.
		Only weeks after the first Al Yamamah agreement was officially concluded in 1985, The Guardian led with an article headlined "Bribes of ’600m in jets deal".
		In December 1996, Sunday Business suggested that one of the reasons behind the Saudi company Aramco's replacement of BP and Shell as oil exporters in Al Yamamah was an attempt by the Saudi government to save money on commission payments to the companies, which were estimated at $30million/’18million a year.

	Peace Matters
		Despite the dubious profit margins and the UK’s dangerous overreliance on the Saudi market, the Al Yamamah contracts are still portrayed as an economic godsend: expert research reveals that this is not the case, and that at best, the economic profits are unclear; or ‘questionable; and ‘may even be negative’.
		The ‘other considerations’ are the persistent reports of corruption which have dogged Al Yamamah from its inception as the pet project of Reagan and Thatcher.
		The campaign for the publication of the NAO report into Al Yamamah continues, and perhaps as the deal winds down this may be forthcoming, though as yet there is no sign of such a move.

	BASIC Papers, December 2005
		Al Yamamah was a contract secured only after a congressional block on the original US-Saudi deal, after personal lobbying by Margaret Thatcher and Ronald Reagan in support of a UK bid and after high levels of secrecy and commissions were guaranteed.
		Al Yamamah meant that Saudi Arabia played a vital role in sustaining the UK defence industry throughout the 1990s.
		It is impossible to assess the nature and level of equipment being exported to Saudi Arabia under Al Yamamah and, as such it is unclear what - if any - consideration is given to the EU Code of Conduct, which was established 12 years after the deal was signed.

		Executives fear that the "slush fund" disclosures, under which BAE is alleged to have wooed Saudi officials with lavish hospitality and gifts in the past, could undermine the talks.
