The Justice Department said the translator, Faheem Mousa Salam, 27, of Livonia, Mich., probably acting as an intermediary for others who have not yet been identified, offered tens of thousands of dollars in bribes to people inside the Iraqi Interior Ministry for a contract to provide some $1 million in flak jackets and other equipment to an organization that trains Iraqi police officers. The federal complaint says that in the course of his work, Mr. Salam offered $60,000 to an Iraqi police official who eventually referred Mr. Salam to someone the official described as a procurement officer for the American-operated program to train the Iraqi police. Mr. Salam repeated his bribery offer and was arrested late Thursday night at Dulles International Airport near Washington, as he returned from Iraq.
