1Opinion of the Court
FARRIS, Circuit Judge:
A Canadian corporation brought suit in California state court against a private Finnish corporation and two state-owned Finnish corporations. The entire case was removed to federal district court and later dismissed on a series of jurisdictional grounds. This appeal raises difficult issues regarding the scope of removal jurisdiction under the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act, 28 U.S.C. §§ 1330(a) and 1441(d), the interpretation of the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 2, and the application of settled principles of personal jurisdiction. We affirm.
