Gainesville, Florida - A nuclear space power institute at the University of Florida has been raided by the FBI.
Supervisory Assistant U.S. Attorney Karen Rhew in Tallahassee says search warrants were served at the university's Innovative Nuclear Space Power and Propulsion Institute. University of Florida spokesman Steve Orlando says the FBI was in the office of professor Samim Anghaie, the Iranian-born director of the institute.
Rhew would not comment on the investigation but did say no arrest warrants have been issued. Orlando says the university is cooperating with the investigation and Anghaie's employment status is being reviewed.
bflr
Traitorous muslim Terrorists are thick as lice on a camel at that place.
Whoa!
"Reviewed."
I think you may be right.....THIS could be very interesting....
Interesting.
Obama Justice Dept. will refuse to prosecute. Bank on it.
WTF?
We have quite a few nuclear plants in Florida. Florida is virtually flat and any nuclear event would probably be catastrophic. Muslim intrigue often has its routes in Florida going back to 911.
Round ‘em up boys, take no prisoners.
Glo Gators!
Don't know. But it's probably nothing, and I'm guilty of being too damned intolerant and distrusting of anyone with ties to a country whose leader wants us dead. I should probably just move along and stop thinking the worst about this poor professor and any Iranian exchange students he might be teaching.

a hunch: the FBI is looking into an employee of his.
There’s only two or three that I saw just by using my amateur ethnic profiling.
Any idiot can get into Who’s Who of just about anything. You just fill out a form and buy the book.
My WTF was as regards WHY a non-U.S. citizen Iranian national is employed at a nuclear power plant anywhere in the U.S., University-owned or NOT.
The Gainesville Sun is reporting that the investigation was by request of NASA. http://www.gainesville.com/article/20090225/ARTICLES/902250990/1002?Title=FBI-search-UF-prof-s-office
