ARTICLE SNIPPET: "A US national of Iraqi origin has been arrested and charged with working as an agent for Saddam Hussein's former regime.

William Shaoul Benjamin, 64, of Los Angeles, was arrested last week on charges "he worked for the former Iraqi regime, which was controlled by Saddam Hussein, and failed to notify the United States Government," the Federal Bureau of Investigation and federal prosecutors said in a statement.

Benjamin allegedly collaborated with the former regime's intelligence service from 1993 to 2001 and was given the code name "9211," the statement said.

Benjamin pleaded not guilty on Monday and his trial is scheduled for November 7.

Under the indictment handed down by a grand jury, Benjamin is charged with conspiracy, making false statements and failing to register as an agent of a foreign government, the statement said."
