France's Alstom signs MOU for Baghdad metro
French engineering group Alstom (ALSO.PA) has signed an outline agreement with Iraq to build a metro line above Baghdad's streets, an official said. Shaker al-Zamili, the head of Baghdad Investment Commission, said on Thursday Iraqi officials signed a memorandum of understanding with Alstom in France last week. An Alstom spokeswoman in Paris confirmed the agreement was signed last Saturday, allowing exclusive talks for the building of 25 km (15 miles) of high-level track.
