Trial Begins in Chicago for Suspected Saddam "Sleeper Agent"
[AP/FOX News ] The trial of an alleged "sleeper agent" for Saddam Hussein's intelligence service began Tuesday in Chicago, with a federal prosecutor accusing Sami Latchin, 59, an Iraqi-born U.S. citizen, of spying on Iraqi dissidents in the U.S. The former airline employee was arrested in August 2004, when prosecutors charged him with making false statements to immigration authorities on a U.S. citizenship application. Authorities claim he failed to disclose that he had been a member of the Baath Party and had served in Iraq's intelligence service.
