- Arms-to-Iraq The Arms-to-Iraq affair was the British corollary to the same illicit Iraq weapons procurement networks examined in the Iran-Contra and BNL scandal investigations: British companies, licensed by the government, supplied precision machinery and military-relevant technology to Saddam Hussein's government during the Iran-Iraq War; the collapse of the Matrix Churchill prosecution in 1992 and the subsequent Scott Inquiry (1992-1996) documented government deception of Parliament.

- Baghdad Baghdad is the capital of Iraq and the seat of Saddam Hussein's Ba'athist government; it was the destination of Donald Rumsfeld's 1983 envoy visit during the Iran-Iraq War, the primary recipient of the BNL scandal's Iraqi arms procurement financing, and the city whose fall in April 2003 ended three decades of Ba'athist rule.
