WILLS OF 3 PALI SUICIDE BOMBERS FOUND ON FLORIDA PROFESSOR'S COMPUTER

U.S. Prosecutors: Terrorist Wills Found in Florida Prof's Computer (AP/Ha'aretz)
Investigators discovered the wills of three Palestinian suicide attackers on a computer in an office tied to former University of South Florida professor Sami Al-Arian, accused of supporting terrorists, according to testimony Thursday in his federal trial. Arian and three other men are charged with working in the U.S. to support the Palestinian Islamic Jihad, a U.S. State Department-listed terrorist group.

In November 1994, Hesham Hamd, a member of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad, set off a bomb strapped around his chest near Israeli soldiers, killing three. Prosecutors say Sami Al-Arian wrote a fax later that day to Damascus where the Islamic Jihad is based: "Pride and glory overwhelmed us. May God bless your efforts and accept our martyrs."

Can't wait to hear the "how could it have gotten there" defense, highlighted by the analysis of "who stands to benefit". Hint: it's the same people who brought down the twin towers.
