A Palestinian professor accused of leading a terrorist group's U.S. operations visited the White House and donated nearly $8,000 to members of Congress, including former Georgia congresswoman [Cynthia McKinney].
Sami Al-Arian, indicted last week for alleged ties to Islamic Jihad, was part of a 160-person group from the American Muslim Council that went to a June 2000 meeting at the White House under the Clinton administration [and] in June 2001 .
Al-Arian, a tenured professor of computer engineering at the University of South Florida, was arrested Thursday on racketeering and conspiracy charges. Three other people, including another instructor at the school, were also arrested. They could face life terms if convicted.
Four other men named in the federal indictment are overseas and have not been arrested.
Al-Arian and his wife, Nahla, gave $7,700 to five political candidates -- three Democrats and two Republicans -- between 1998 and 2000, according to records filed with the Federal Election Commission.
The indictment alleges that Al-Arian, 45, used the school as a cover to bring Islamic Jihad members to the United States on the pretext of attending academic conferences.
Of the congressional members who received money from the Al-Arians, former Rep. David Bonior, D-Mich., received the most -- $3,200 -- and their eldest son, Abdullah, served as an intern in Bonior's office. Bonior, who is now a professor at Wayne State University in Detroit, did not immediately return a call Monday.
The five U.S. politicians who received money from the couple did so before Sami Al-Arian's alleged terrorist ties surfaced publicly in September of 2001. [Among them is] Rep. Henry Hyde, R-Ill., who was given $1,000 and passed the money on to charity once the allegations surfaced, said Jennifer Palmer, a spokeswoman.
