"PROSECUTORS: AL-ARIAN SOUGHT TO OVERSEE FUNDING"
August 1, 2005
ARTICLE SNIPPET #1: "TAMPA - Palestinian Islamic Jihad officials approved a proposal by Sami Al- Arian to reform the terrorist organizations' finances by making Al-Arian one of the three people in charge of overseeing funds, according to evidence presented in Al-Arian's trial on Monday."
ARTICLE SNIPPET #2: "Al-Arian is on trial, along with Sameeh Hammoudeh, Hatim Naji Fariz and Ghassan Zayed Ballut, on charges they helped organize and finance the Islamic Jihad, which has claimed responsibility for numerous attacks and suicide bombings in Israel and the occupied territories.
Although supporting the Islamic Jihad did not become illegal in the United States until January 1995, prosecutors are presenting the earlier evidence under the theory that it was part of a continuing criminal conspiracy."
