Chalabi's Home, Iraqi National Congress Offices Raided

U.S. troops and Iraqi police raid the home and offices of the Ahmed Chalabi, the leader of the Iraqi National Congress party. Chalabi, a member of the U.S.-appointed governing council, condemned the raid. An Iraqi judge said it was carried out on the basis of an arrest warrant for several Iraqis wanted for unlawful detentions and other crimes. NPR's Peter Kenyon reports.
