This list was published in the berlin newspaper tageszeitung
on december 19, 2002. It lists the companies that were involved
in the Iraq's weapon development program, especially the 
nuclear, biological and chemical programs. References to these
companies were removed from an Iraqi report by the members of
the UN security councils. I thought it would be nice to have
this list as an online reference too.
