The Justice Department said yesterday that it had arrested an Iraqi-American translator from Michigan on bribery charges in the latest case involving accusations of corruption, which have become a steady accompaniment to the war in Iraq. 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.
