CHICAGO: A newspaper publisher who spied on Iraqi dissidents in the United States for the regime of former Iraqi president Saddam Hussein was sentenced to 46 months in jail.
Khaled Abdel-Latif Dumeisi was arrested in July last year and convicted in January of acting as "an unregistered agent" for the Hussein regime, conspiracy and perjury. They said the 61-year-old was in regular contact with Iraqi officials at the country's then-UN mission, and passed information to the Iraqi intelligence agency, or Mukhabbarat, through those officials.
| Should have charged him with spying. Can we at least kick him out of the country after he does his time, please? |
