CHICAGO, Illinois (CNN) -- An Illinois man who allegedly collected information about Iraqi opposition groups in the United States has been arrested on charges of failing to register as an agent of Saddam Hussein's regime, according to federal prosecutors.
Khaled Abdel-Latif Dumeisi, 60, of Oak Lawn, a Chicago suburb, is set to make an initial court appearance Wednesday afternoon.
According to the complaint against Dumeisi, his arrest was triggered by evidence found at a Baghdad safe house of the Iraqi intelligence service. The evidence contained information about an agent code-named "Sirhan" operating in the United States, the complaint said.
Dumeisi has not been charged with espionage.
The complaint alleges that Dumeisi, president of an organization called Around-the-World News Inc., was trained to use a hidden camera with a pen and microphone to record interviews with Iraqi opposition members.
Around-the-World News, incorporated in Illinois, was said to distribute and print periodicals in English and Arabic.
The complaint also alleges that Dumeisi produced fake press identification cards for use by Iraqi intelligence officials.
According to the complaint against Dumeisi, he applied for U.S. citizenship in December 2001, but that application was denied in November 2002 because he failed to provide documents requested by immigration officials.
