LONDON  -- The government said on Friday it was considering a request for cooperation from United States investigators who are probing alleged corruption at BAE Systems, including in its dealings with Saudi Arabia. The Home Office denied a report in the Guardian saying ministers were refusing to cooperate with the U.S. probe, launched in June, into the defense firm's compliance with anti-corruption laws. Washington sent the Home Office a formal request for legal assistance with its inquiry into BAE more than two months ago, the Guardian said. The Guardian said Home Secretary Jacqui Smith had refused to pass on the request to the Serious Fraud Office for processing, a step needed for SFO investigators to speak to U.S. authorities.
