In a statement to the Jerusalem Post Saturday, BAE Systems formally denied the previously released information regarding a collaboration with the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), stating that it “should be considered misinformation” and that the information was not provided by the BAE Systems board. BAE also stated that any information not given directly from the board should be considered incorrect and unreliable.
The statement was given in response to earlier disruption in which an article was published regarding rumors of a BAE Systems deal with the CIA, which was denied by the board in communication with British Prime Minister Boris Johnson almost immediately after its release.
Neither side of the issue relating to the earlier publication has been independently verified by the Jerusalem Post.
