Arrest Warrant Issued for INC’s American Advisor

HeadlineJun 07, 2004

In other Iraq news, the London Telegraph is reporting an arrest warrant has been issued for the American consultant Francis Brooke who has worked for years with Ahmend Chalabi and the Iraqi National Congress. An Iraqi judge said Brooke had tried to stop a recent raid on Chalabi’s headquarters. Brooke, who is believed to be back in Washington, boasted in a recent interview with the New Yorker that he helped engineer the war on Iraq by providing the United States the evidence it was seeking on weapons of mass destruction. He told the magazine “I’m a smart man. I saw what they wanted, and I adapted my strategy.” The INC has been widely accused on passing on fabricated intelligence to the U.S. government and major media outlets including the New York Times.
