Israel Aided FBI in Al-Arian Case
(Forward) - Marc Perelman Intelligence supplied by Israel played a key role in the indictment last week of University of South Florida professor Sami Al-Arian on charges that he is a leader of the Islamic Jihad Palestinian terrorist group. An FBI delegation traveled to Israel late last year to collect intelligence obtained by Israel during the mid-1990s, a former top counterterrorist official said. "The evidence the U.S. government has is intelligence, much of it from the Israeli government, relating to 1994 - when the Mossad had a penetration of [Islamic Jihad] headquarters in Damascus," the official said.
