Chalabi involvement?

It seems a comment on a post from reader Metal-or-die about Ahmed Chalabi's involvement in fueling the protests against Jordan might have a kernel of truth to it.

This from the Jordan Times [full article here]:

A top Iraqi Shiite leader Imam Mohammad Mahdi Khalisi joined the lawmakers in rejecting the allegations. Petra quoted a statement by Khalisi's office in Baghdad as accusing Iraqi politician “Ahmed Chalabi and an intelligence agency in an Iraq neighboring country of attempting to harm Jordan-Iraq ties.”

A Jordanian court sentenced Chalabi to 22 years in prison for fraud and embezzling $288 million from Petra Bank, which he founded and ran until its collapse in 1989, and moving the funds into Swiss accounts.”

Interesting revelation, no?
