Submitted by: Administrator

Oil for food scandal is one of the biggest scandals in human history. The UN Security Council started the Oil-for-Food program in 1996 to allow Iraq to sell enough oil to pay for food and other necessities for its population which was suffering under strict UN sanctions imposed after the first Gulf War. But Saddam Hussein exploited the program, earning billions through illegal oil smuggling, according to a 2004 Central Intelligence Agency investigation.
