WASHINGTON, Nov. 10 (UPI) -- Iraq's controversial Deputy Prime Minister Ahmad Chalabi has denied giving faulty information to the United States about Saddam Hussein's weapons program.
Chalabi, now visiting the United States, met with Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice Wednesday, reports the Voice of America. Allegations against him say his information on the weapons of mass destruction played a role in the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq.
Rice did not appear with Chalabi after the meeting, nor was there a photo session at the start of their talks, which is routine for such an occasion, VOA reported.
Chalabi, who is also accused of passing U.S. intelligence information to Iran, visited Tehran and met with Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad before traveling to Washington, the report said. He said he spoke to the Iranians about their interference in Iraqi domestic politics.
