"Saudi America"

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "Still at large, though, is Saudi national Abdullah Aljughaiman, who was a lecturer at UI and received his religious training King Saud University in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.  Investigators have been unable even to speak with him, however, because he is most likely in Saudi Arabia, where he’s off-limits to U.S. authorities.

At the center of the probe is Sami Omar al-Hussayen, a graduate student and computer whiz at UI who was also seen as a leader in the local Muslim community.  The Saudi national, who goes to trial this spring, is charged with visa fraud, making false statements, and providing material support of terrorism. 

The terrorism charge does not seem to have adversely affected al-Hussayen’s popularity in the local Muslim community.  Several Muslims in the Pullman-Moscow area contacted by phone spoke favorably of the alleged abettor of terrorism.  One who had attended the preliminary hearings opined, “The evidence against him doesn’t seem that strong.”

In addition to allegedly designing web sites for two radical sheikhs with direct contact with Osama bin Laden, al-Hussayen is charged with handling financial and administrative functions for supposed charities that allegedly supported terrorism.

The most chilling part of the indictment, though, is a section describing an e-mail list managed and edited solely by al-Hussayen, in which an appeal was made for information from Muslims in the U.S. armed forces that would help in a terrorist attack on American military personnel:"
