Michigan branch was indicted yesterday for allegedly arranging a visit to Baghdad by three U.S. congressmen financed by Saddam Hussein's intelligence agency in the run-up to the war, according to federal prosecutors.
Muthanna Al-Hanooti, an Iraqi-American, was rewarded with 2 million barrels of oil by Iraqi intelligence officials when he set up the controversial excursion by Democratic Reps. Jim McDermott of Washington, David Bonior of Michigan and Mike Thompson of California.
The congressmen made news in October 2002 with their harsh criticism of President Bush in live television interviews from Baghdad, including McDermott's charge that the president would lie to the American people to justify a war with Saddam.
The lawmakers urged a diplomatic solution as the Bush administration sought authorization from Congress for military action in response to Saddam's refusal to abide by U.N. resolutions.
Al-Hanooti joins a list of leaders of the Council on American-Islamic Relations, or CAIR, who have been indicted on terrorism-related charges.
