Russia's Official Denied US Charge

Vladimir Zhirinovsky, Russia?s State Duma vice speaker, has rejected U.S. Senate claims that he was involved in the oil-for-food manipulation with Iraq, Interfax reported Monday.
A U.S. Senate Committee report stated Saddam Hussein?s Iraq allocated 90 million barrels of cut-price oil to Russia?s presidential council, in return for Moscow?s support against sanctions. The contracts could have netted Zhirinovsky and his Liberal Democratic party $8.679 million in profits, the report said.
