BERLIN - An Iraqi man suspected of spreading messages by al-Qaida leaders
on the Internet was arrested in Germany on Tuesday, federal prosecutors said.

The 36-year-old, identified only as Ibrahim R., was arrested near the western
city of Osnabrueck, prosecutors said in a statement. His apartment was searched.

He is accused of spreading audio and video messages by al-Qaida and al-Qaida
in Iraq on the Internet and "in doing so of having supported these groups
in their terrorist activities and aims."

The prosecutors said the messages were from Osama bin Laden, his deputy Ayman
al-Zawahri and former al-Qaida in Iraq leader Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, who was
killed in a U.S. airstrike north of Baghdad in June.
