Canadian citizen charged with spying for Iraq

An Iraq-born Canadian citizen who was picked up at the US border last week was charged Monday with conspiring to spy for Saddam Hussein and Iraq.

A criminal complaint filed by the US Justice Department alleges that Mouyad Mahmoud Darwish, 47, was paid to provide information to Iraqi government officials and intelligence officers in 2000 and later, including that Iraqi volunteers were being trained by the US military in Virginia. (AP)
