Palsen Sasa has won a contract to armour US military vehicles in Iraq,
company sources said Tuesday.
-
- Under the terms of the contract, the Sasa kibbutz company
in the northern Galilee region will provide armour for 2,000 trucks and
other vehicles. It will supply kits that can be assembled on site by US
troops serving in Iraq.

- Aside from the Israeli and US army, Palsen Sasa also
supplies the British, Dutch and Indian militaries.
-
- The US military has recently suffered criticism that
its vehicles operating in Iraq are insufficiently protected with armour
plating.
