A nice piece entitled "Scrutinising Banking" from the Oxford Business Group focusing on money laundering accusations in Jordan. The lead:

"Amidst allegations of money laundering for organisations associated with the Palestinian Intifada and claims of insufficient internal controls, the Amman-based Arab Bank has been trying to weather a heavy storm in recent weeks. Yet many are dubious about the culpability of Arab Bank - and also question how responsible a lender is for its customers' spending choices."

And the rest.
