Iraq congress members under investigation, car theft, robbery, assualt

[MSgt213]

Members of the Iraqi National Congress and its leader Ahmed Chalabi were airlifted into southern Iraq the day Saddam’s government fell. Chalabi was President Bush’s guest at the State of the Union. Even today, the INC gets $340,000 a month from the Pentagon to feed the U.S. intelligence information.

But NBC News has learned that members of the group are now under investigation by Iraqi police in Baghdad – allegations of:

abduction
robbery
stealing 11 Iraqi government vehicles
assaulting police by firing on them during a search.
An Iraqi police official says one doctor claims he was kidnapped at gunpoint: “They bound him, took him to an unknown place and after he got back to his house he discovered they took $20,000. We caught the suspects and they said they were from the INC.”
