A high ranking Iraqi police officer working in the conferences palace was arrested Saturday for leaking information to insurgents and armed groups on the movements of members of the national assembly and top state officials, an official source said.

Chief Commander in the Interior Ministry, Major General Mehdi Sabeeh told reporters a major in the Iraqi police was arrested for leaking information, giving no further details.

An official at the former Premier, Iyad Allawi's office was also arrested last year for leaking information.

2. Perhaps

If this guy has actually leaked information, but remember you're talking about Iraq where being from the wrong ethnic group can get you arrested as well.

And the information on the background of the leaker is a little lacking in my opinion.
