Chalabi's House Raided by U.S. Troops
BAGHDAD, May 20 -- U.S. soldiers and Iraqi police on Thursday raided the home of Ahmad Chalabi, a Governing Council member who was once the Pentagon's pick to run post-war Iraq, and two office buildings used by his Iraqi National Congress.
U.S. troops detained three guards and seized computers, dozens of rifles, and files from the offices of the INC, a coalition of parties headed by Chalabi that opposed Saddam Hussein from exile.
Hours after the morning raids, a U.S. official and an Iraqi judge disclosed to reporters that arrest warrants had been issued for 15 people on charges of kidnapping, fraud, and "associated matters."
finally some good news from bushopotamia. good riddance.
if only the neocons could have seen this fucking snake oil salesman for what he was years ago, maybe we wouldn't be trapped in such a shithole right now.
juan cole, as per usual, has got the the straight dope.
