US gov may forbid BAE Eurofighter sale to Saudis

[Tchocky]

Hmm, Saudi Arabia spends almost 10% of it's GDP on weapons, and they're the biggest purchaser of US arms in the world.
But they're moving away from US weapons, last year they signed a deal to buy Russian helicopters.

Gee, I wonder what's happening here.

EDIT - Perhaps I am too conspiratorial, but the previous investigations and illegal blocking of such investigations don't bolster much confidence in the truth of any part of this deal.
