Bush, Al-Arian photo resurfaces By MARY JACOBY, Times Staff Writer © St. Petersburg Times published February 25, 2003 WASHINGTON -- With the arrest of Sami Al-Arian on terrorism charges last week, an old family photo of the University of South Florida professor with then-candidate George W. Bush is popping up again in print. Al-Arian was among a group of Muslim activists who met with Bush's senior political adviser Karl Rove in the Eisenhower Executive Office Building. Vice President Dick Cheney also was scheduled to meet with the group but canceled after Jewish and conservative activists protested. At the time, Al-Arian had been under federal investigation for six years for suspected ties to the Palestinian Islamic Jihad, a group credited with more than 100 suicide-bombing deaths in Israel. Among the others who met with Rove in 2001 was Abdurahman Alamoudi, who last year came under federal investigation in a Customs Service terror financing probe. In 2000, Alamoudi was videotaped at a rally outside the White House saying, "We are all supporters of Hamas." Hamas, known formally as the Islamic Resistance Movement, is responsible for suicide bombings in Israel. sullivan-county.com
