U.S. slaps new fraud indictment on Kuwait's Agility

* username: rupertbu

The new indictment contained no new charges against Agility, the Gulf's biggest logistics firm and the main food supplier to the U.S. military in Iraq and Kuwait.

Instead, it extended existing charges to include two company affiliates: U.S.-based Agility DGS Holdings Inc and Agility DGS Logistics Services K.S.C., which is based in Kuwait.

The reason for doing so was to "cure" a technical problem with the original indictment, said parent company Agility, formerly Public Warehousing Company K.S.C. (PWC).
