Ahmed Chalabi to be arrested?
According to Reuters, yes...
Iraq's interim defense minister said on Friday the government would arrest Iraqi National Congress leader Ahmad Chalabi after the Eid al-Adha holiday on suspicion of maligning the defense ministry.Chalabi is a crook whose alliances shift almost daily. His imminent arrest is based on allegation that he swindled his bank out of $500 million. What's more, he helped dupe America into attacking Iraq. It's about time he spends time in a jail cell.
"We will arrest him and hand him over to Interpol. We will arrest him based on facts that he wanted to malign the reputation of the defense ministry and defense minister," Hazim al-Shaalan told Al Jazeera television.
The satellite channel quoted Shaalan as saying Chalabi would be handed to Interpol over his conviction in absentia by a Jordanian court in 1992 of embezzling millions from Petra Bank, whose 1989 collapse shook Jordan's political and financial system.
