A UofA grad student has been arrested on terrorism charges.
In an affidavit filed with an criminal complaint, FBI Special Agent Richard L. Blair said Jaber, a naturalized U.S. citizen born in the West Bank town of Yamoun, acknowledged to federal authorities Monday in an interview at his residence that he told his Ph. D. professor and others at the university that he was going to Palestine to "fight for freedom, peace and justice." "Arwah stated that he would rather die fighting for freedom against Israeli terrorists than stay another six months at UA trying to complete his Ph. D.," Blair said in the affidavit.
Allegedly, there's also e-mails from Jaber that state the same plans.
That deserves a nomination for Idiot of the Day, doesn't it?
