Saudi in Idaho charged for terror ties

Student indicted with suspects in Iraq money-laundering scheme

The FBI and the Joint Terrorism Task Force arrested a Saudi Arabian man studying computer security at the University of Idaho who is charged with channeling funds and helping set up a website for an Islamic group that urges violence against the United States.

(..excerpted..)

The Saudi citizen is charged with supporting the Michigan-based Islamic Assembly of North America, or IANA.

The IANA says its aim is to coordinate the efforts of many groups on the continent engaged in the propagation of Islam, or dawah. Websites operated by the group praise suicide bombings and promote the use of airplanes as terror weapons, the indictment said.

(..excerpted..)

The indictment cited an article posted on a website, www.alasr.ws, registered by Al-Hussayen:

"The second part is the rule that the Mujahid [warrior] must kill himself if he knows that this will lead to killing a great number of the enemies, and that he will not be able to kill them without killing himself first, or demolishing a center vital to the enemy or its military force, and so on. This is not possible except by involving the human element in the operation. In this new era, this can be accomplished with the modern means of bombing or bringing down an airplane on an important location that will cause the enemy great losses."

(..excerpted..)

A group they established called Help the Needy ( http://www.helptheneedy.net/ no longer active ) sought contributions, deposited the money in central New York banks and then sent it to Iraq through the Jordan Islamic Bank in Amman, the indictment charged.

Al-Hussayen's case also may provide fresh evidence that at least some of these anti-American websites are being supported by funds coming from Saudi Arabia.

The tentacles of the Saudis extend to nearly every nook and cranny of American life.
