Euromac

Euromac was a British defence company which provided military technology to Iraq prior to the first Gulf War and was at the center of the Arms-to-Iraq Affair and also the so-called Iraqgate affair. It worked closely with Matrix Churchill, an Iraqi front company working operating in Britain and the United States, and with Gerald Bull, in helping Saddam Hussein and also played a central roles in the Iraqi supergun affair.

Euromac was also the target of a sting operation by the U.S. Customs Service, which used an undercover investigator to sell Saddam's government nuclear triggers to be used as part of a nuclear weapons program. Several officers of the company were subsequently charged for their involvement in the scheme.
