S. Fla. professor under terrorism investigation freed on bond

ALEXANDRIA, Va. – A federal judge is overruling government objections and has ordered free on bond a former professor who has been in custody since 2003 as part of a wide-ranging terrorism investigation.

It's unlikely that former University of South Florida professor Sami Al-Arian will immediately be set free. It's expected that he'll be transferred to immigration authorities since he's subject to deportation.

Young accused clearly knew he was part of a group bent on terrorism

A Crown lawyer is arguing that a man on trial for terrorist offences must have, at some point, known he was part of a group that was bent on terrorism.

Prosecutor John Neander says the accused might not have known of the alleged terrorist conspiracy when he first went to a training camp north of Toronto.

However, Neander says he surely must have realized what the group was up to by the time the 12-day camp ended in December 2006.

from your post - Article Snippet:

“However, Neander says he surely must have realized what the group was up to by the time the 12-day camp ended in December 2006.”

I agree.
