CHICAGO - A suburban Chicago man was arrested Wednesday on charges of serving as an unregistered agent of Saddam Hussein (news - web sites)'s government, including spying on opposition leaders for Iraqi intelligence, federal officials said.



Khaled Abdel-Latif Dumeisi, 60, of Oak Lawn was arrested based on a dossier found in Baghdad in April and turned over to the FBI (news - web sites).


U.S. Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald said in a statement that Dumeisi had furnished information to Iraqi intelligence without registering as a foreign agent.


"Those who gather information in the United States about people living in America for the purpose of providing the information to hostile governments should understand that the FBI will pursue them vigorously," Fitzgerald said.


Federal law requires anyone acting as an agent of a foreign government who is not a member of that country's diplomatic service to register with the Justice Department (news - web sites) as a foreign agent.


Dumeisi never did so, federal officials said.


They said members of the Iraqi National Congress, an opposition group, discovered a dossier in a Baghdad safehouse run by Iraq (news - web sites)'s intelligence service in the days when Saddam's regime was crumbling.

So it would have been OK if he had been registered?
