Some 18 million barrels of oil were allocated for British lawmaker George Galloway, an outspoken opponent of U.N. sanctions against Iraq, for later sale. A portion of the profits from those sales were put into a bank account belonging to his wife.

The United Nations is responsible for the lack of transparency in the program that contributed to the abuses that plagued oil-for-food. According to the investigators, that underscores the need for urgent U.N. reform, especially if the world body wants to take on a program of this magnitude ever again.

Banque Nationale de Paris S.A., known as BNP, was the bank that monitored the U.N. account that held oil money. It did not disclose fully to the United Nations that it knew of shady financial relationships and front companies that led to the payment of illegal surcharges.

3 New Delhi Explosions Kill at Least 58

Near-simultaneous explosions rocked the Indian capital Saturday evening, tearing through a bus and two  
markets crowded with people shopping for gifts for a Hindu festival. At least 58 people were killed and dozens

while denouncing the apparently coordinated bombings.

While he did not say who was suspected in the explosions, the Indian government faces opposition from dozens of militant organizations, from tiny fringe groups to well-armed Kashmiri insurgents who have previously attacked New Delhi, including a bloody 2001 assault on parliament. Some of those groups fiercely oppose the India-Pakistan peace process, which began early last year.

British Foreign Secretary Jack Straw said the blasts "appear to have been targeted at heavily populated areas to produce maximum carnage."

This is yet another example of terrorists' cynical and callous disregard for human life," Straw added. "On  
behalf of the British government, I would like to offer the people of India my support and deepest sympathy."

The first explosion hit New Delhi's main Paharganj market, leaving behind bloodstained streets and mangled stalls of wood and twisted metal. Within minutes came an explosion at the popular Sarojini Nagar market and the bus blast in the Govindpuri neighborhood. Police said at least 60 people were wounded in the first blast and dozens in the other two.

The attacks targeted the many people shopping just days before the festival of Diwali, a major Hindu holiday  
during which families exchange gifts, light candles and celebrate with fireworks. The markets where the  
blasts occurred often sell fireworks that are elaborate and potentially dangerous.

Home Minister Shivraj Patil urged people to stay off the streets. "I appeal to you. Please disperse from the markets and go back to your families," he said in a televised address.
