His arrest must have been duly recorded as per law, or Amnesty International wouldn't know about it. Chances are, Amnesty found the info because his Iraq citizenship required Jordan to notify Iraq. Then all Iraq needed to do was notify Amnesty International. (Of course, if Iraq arrested someone, they would simply torture the person and make him disappear and no one would ever know.)

Here's another character- notice his name was in El Hage's address book; other than that, though, there wasn't enough evidence to hold him and he was released.:

SEPTEMBER 15, 2001 : (JORDANIAN GHASSAN DAHDULI) Ghassan Dahduli, a year after being warned he would be deported from the US for obtaining a work visa fraudulently, is finally arrested from his home and then was held in solitary confinement for 65 days. Reportedly Ghassan Dahduli's name had been discovered shortly before his arrest in the US in an address book belonging to Wadih al-Hage who was sentenced to life imprisonment in the US for his role in the 1998 bombings of the US embassies in Africa. Ghassan Dahduli had been a local officer for the Islamic Association for Palestine in Chicago. -Amnesty International

More on Dahduli :

NOVEMBER 2001 : (JORDANIAN GHASSAN DAHDULI ) At the end of November, Ghassan Dahduli, a Jordanian residing in the US for the last 20 years, was deported to Jordan apparently in relation to an immigration offence. He was arrested in Jordan, following his deportation, on arrival at the airport in Amman and was detained for 13 days in solitary confinement by the GID. For 10 days he was held incommunicado. He was otherwise well-treated during his detention in Jordan. On his release he was informed that charges of ''terrorism'' made against him would be dropped. -Amnesty International
