The indictment accuses them of conspiring to act as agents of the Iraqi Intelligence Service, and failing to register with the Justice Department as foreign-government agents. Prosecutors said the intelligence service had helped carry out terrorist operations, including an attempted assassination of former U.S. President George Bush and attempted bombings during the 1991 Gulf War. The Iraqi service has also "located, intimidated and killed Iraqi defectors and dissidents living abroad," they said. A U.S. Attorney's office spokesman in New York would not discuss Lindauer's relationship to the two brothers or her employment. Thomas Nooter, a lawyer representing Raed al-Anbuke, said his client did not know Lindauer's name and did not think he had ever met her. The indictment charges that Lindauer made multiple visits to Iraq's U.N. mission and met with several members of the intelligence service from October 1999 through about March 2002. The Iraqi service paid Lindauer for her expenses in return for her intelligence services, according to the indictment. It charges Lindauer traveled to Baghdad in February or March 2002 and met with several officers of the service. It also says Lindauer delivered a letter last year to the home of a U.S. government official, in which she said she had access to members of Saddam's regime. Prosecutors said the letter was an unsuccessful attempt to influence U.S. foreign policy.
