US Arrests Palestinian Envoy In Iraq

From the Arab News (Saudi Arabia):

US troops detained a Palestinian diplomat in Baghdad yesterday ...

... Soldiers handcuffed charge d’affaires Najah Abdul Rahman and four other men outside what ousted Iraqi President Saddam Hussein’s government recognized as the Palestine Embassy. The troops said the men had illegal weapons, but it was not clear what had prompted them to disarm a Palestinian diplomat in a city awash with arms seven weeks after Saddam’s overthrow.

I wonder if they will find records of checks to suicide bombers and their families in the "embassy" or will the troops be ordered to blow all that off like Powell and Bush blew off evidence gathered by the Israelis at the Mukata?
