Tribune Series Exposed USF Ties To Terrorism
TAMPA - In 1995, The Tampa Tribune published a series about "a nonprofit organization that helps raise money in the name of two groups that claim responsibility for bombings that have killed hundreds in Israel and around the world." The head of that organization? USF professor Sami Al-Arian. Read the 1995 series below.

I was just reading this! Great post!

[Catspaw]

But I don't have a ping list of interested people. If you do, could you do the pingaroonie thing?

[SJackson]

If you'd like to be on or off this middle east/political ping list, please FR mail me.

[Catspaw]

yeah, that's the ping list!

Thanks for great post

[INSENSITIVE GUY]

Like i've said before,"colleges turn out more criminals than the prisons do".

[Grampa Dave]

Some interesting reading here.

[Catspaw]

Contrast this series to the hit piece in Salon--the Salon piece appears to be ghost-written by CAIR.

This gives a good background to Sami al-Arian. I'm glad the Tampa Tribune put it on their webiste.

[Howlin]

I'll be glad to.

A great compilation ping.......Catspaw has some information on today's arrests!

[Catspaw]

I forgot to add the link to the indictment. Be forwarned that it's at least 120 pages long.

Interesting paragraph from today's indictment:

16. The defendants and PIJ [Palestinian Islamic Jihad] utilized the University of South Florida, Tampa, Florida, (hereinafter referred to as "USF") as an institution where some of their members could receive cover as teachers or students. Additionally, USF was utilized by PIJ as their instrumentality through which the co-conspirators could bring other PIJ members and associates into the United States under the guise of academic conferences and meetings.

[Grampa Dave]

Catspaw, you have just got a really big ping via Ernest.

I saw someone on televison earlier talking about the details in the indictment and that he was learning a lot that he didn't know. The station, MSNBC I think, was featuring him as an expert in the ME terriorist groups.

He said he was to page 120 and was still reading....

[Catspaw]

Read into the indictment further. That's exactly what they did. It's good cover and enmeshing the PIJ's activities with "academic freedom."

[Freedom2specul8]

Thanks for the post-n-ping! Will pass this along too.

If he had reddish hair, it was Steve Emerson--and he's an expert on these things, especially al-Arian. I was stunned at some of the allegations in the indictment myself.
