WASHINGTON, March 2: The US government is investigating the acquisition of sensitive US facilities and technology by another United Arab Emirates-owned firm and an Israeli company, The Washington Post said on Thursday.
Although a US official denied the probes responded to the outcry over Dubai Ports World’s takeover of operations at six US ports, the daily said the investigation of the second UAE firm’s deal began this week, at the height of the controversy.
The US Congress has been notified of the investigations carried out by the Committee of Foreign Investment, the daily said.—AFP
