Who is THIS GUY??!??!?!!!?
Majid al-Massari
A University of Washington computer-security expert detained last month by federal agents is the son of a radical Islamic dissident in England, who believes his son has been targeted by the U.S. government and the Saudi royal family.
Majid al-Massari, 34, a Saudi national and an employee of the UW School of Nursing, was arrested July 17 by agents from the Bureau of Immigration and Customs Enforcement for investigation of immigration violations.
FBI agents with the Seattle Joint Terrorism Task Force seized computers from al-Massari's office and his University District home, according to federal sources. One source, speaking on condition of anonymity, said agents are translating hundreds of e-mails in Arabic between al-Massari and his father.

Here's a little more about him:
Majid al-Massari had been a regular guest on London-based anti-Saudi radio talk shows and posted regularly on Internet discussion groups, his father said.
Muhammad al-Massari acknowledges there may be other reasons for increased scrutiny of himself and his family. He acknowledged yesterday a long relationship with an al-Qaida sympathizer named Mustafa al-Ansari, who led an attack on a Saudi petrochemical plant in Yanbu in May that left two Americans, two Britons and an Australian dead. They were employees of a Houston firm.
He also said he was "acquainted" with Abdurahman Alamoudi, who pleaded guilty last week in Washington, D.C., to being involved in a Libyan-funded plot to assassinate Saudi Crown Prince Abdullah bin Abdul Aziz. Al-Massari denied any involvement in the scheme.

Maybe we're finally starting to round up the bad guys.
