Gee, this article makes it sound like we're arresting peanut vendors in Iraq. Where's the 'rest of the story' on this guy?

Was he accidentally caught trying to sell peanuts to al-Zarqawi?

Or did he come back to join the 'Jihad'?

I do not believe that we'd have arrested him without some strong evidence he was involved...

Google is a wonderful thing:

The allegations against Al Rawi were:

1 The detainee is associated with al Qaida:
The detainee provided harbor in London, United Kingdom to a known al Qaida fugitive named Abu Qatada.
2 The detainee assisted Abu Qatada by locating an apartment where Abu Qatada hid from British authorities.
3 Abu Qatada has strong links to senior al Qaida operatives and facilitated the travel of individuals to an al Qaida guesthouse located in Pakistan.
4 Abu Qatada is a known al Qaida operative who was arrested in the United Kingdom as a danger to national security.
5 In addition to helping Abu Qatada evade British authorities, the detainee transferred funds between branches of the Arab Bank at Abu Qatada’s direction in 1999 or 2000.
6 In November 2002, the detainee was arrested in Gambia after arriving from the United Kingdom and was later transferred to U.S. custody in Bagram, Afghanistan.
