Israel to help India arms probe

Version 0 of 1.

Israeli companies implicated in India's investigation into a series of arms deals will co-operate in the case, the Israeli Defence Ministry says.

The move came a day after Indian authorities announced a probe into ex-defence minister George Fernandes.

Mr Fernandes denies receiving bribes related to a multi-million-dollar deal to buy missiles from Israel.

He rejected the allegations saying: "Bring proof against me. The deal was approved before I came to power."
