omb parts that ultimately fall into terrorist hands. The American company on Wednesday described the Fox News report as "irresponsible and maliciously false".
The Fox's Bill O'Reilly in a recent report on Tuesday claimed that according to sources a federal probe was underway to see whether General Electric was providing roadside bomb parts that are used to kill American soldiers.
He said that a US company had supplied Corezing International -- a company in Singapore -- with radio frequency modules, which are among the main components of the roadside bombs.
GE spokesman Gary Sheffer said nobody can confirm such claims, adding that the company does not do business with the Singaporean firm.
"We usually do not respond to the misleading and inaccurate claims made on this program because very few people take them seriously," Sheffer said,
"But tonight's report took this smear campaign to a new low."
