DON LEMON: Sentenced to death in Kuwait, elected to office in Iraq. Jamal Jafaar Mohammed is a member of a ruling coalition in Iraq's parliament. He's also, according to the U.S. military, a terrorist, a spy, and an outlaw.

Let's get more from CNN's Michael Ware. He's in Baghdad for us -- Michael.

MICHAEL WARE, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Yes, Don, Jamal Jafaar Mohammed was elected to the Iraqi parliament in the 2005 ballot that was sponsored by the U.S. mission here. Little did they know at the time that Jamal Jafaar Mohammed was involved in the car bombing of a U.S. embassy in Kuwait in 1983. U.S. military intelligence says, in fact, he was one of the masterminds of that plot.

A Kuwaiti court sentenced him -- convicted him in absentia, and sentenced him to death for his role in the U.S. Embassy bombing, and the French Embassy bombing, and attacks on other facilities. He later showed up leading an Iraqi element of the Iranian armed forces, and we now find him in the Iraqi parliament enjoying immunity from prosecution.

U.S. military intelligence has now gone to the Iraqi government and said, "we have material that shows he's a conduit for weapons and political influence, is an agent for Iran, and is assisting Shia insurgents attacking U.S. forces."

LEMON: Michael Ware in Baghdad.

Thank you so much for that.
