Iraqi judge orders arrest of American aide to Chalabi:

"An arrest warrant has been issued for Ahmed Chalabi's right-hand man in Baghdad, the American consultant Francis Brooke, who tried to stop the recent raid on the politician's headquarters in the Iraqi capital.

In the latest in a series of damaging blows for Mr Chalabi, an Iraqi judge said that Mr Brooke had obstructed the Iraqi police. He is believed to have returned to Washington, leaving his former master to tackle claims that his Iraqi National Congress passed American secrets to Iran.

'He stopped the raid by telling the police they didn't have the legal power to do it because he was an American and they were Iraqis,' said Judge Zuhair Al-Maliky, of the central criminal court in Baghdad. '
As a result, the raid didn't go as planned. The warrant is for interfering with the work of the Iraqi police in their legitimate business."
