TEL AVIV BOMBING PLANNER TAUGHT AT U.S. UNIVERSITY

Islamic Jihad Leader Who Ordered Tel Aviv Bombing Taught at U.S. University - Uzi Mahnaimi and Christopher Lamb (Sunday Times-UK)
Palestinian terrorist leader Ramadan Shallah, 47, the head of Islamic Jihad, is accused by Mossad, the Israeli intelligence service, of ordering the bombing attack in Tel Aviv on Feb. 25, which killed five people.

A transcript of his telephone call from Damascus is believed to have been given to U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice.

Shallah was a Ph.D student in Britain who spent 1985-90 at Durham, writing a thesis on Islamic banking in Jordan that called for the replacement of the Western-style banking system by one in accordance with Islamic law. Shallah moved to the University of South Florida in Tampa, where he taught Middle Eastern studies and headed the World and Islam Studies Enterprise, a think-tank affiliated to the university.

AS YOU MAY RECALL, THE UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH FLORIDA IS NOTORIOUS FOR IT'S EMPLOYMENT OF ALLEGED ISLAMIC TERRORISTS AND THEIR FUNDERS. SEE HERE, HERE AND HERE.
