One of the brokers of the first deal in 2010 to sell NSO's Pegasus to a foreign government (with Elliott Broidy, who was squeezed out of final deal) was Eric Banoun - who is now a director of Eitanium Ltd with Erik Prince
Charged with the 74-old Barrack are Matthew Grimes, 27, of Aspen, Colorado, and a UAE national, Rashid Sultan Rashid Al Malik. Grimes was arrested in California on Tuesday.

Our infrastructure is not ready for severe weather
