Tampa, Florida-AP -- Trustees at a Florida university support the firing of a Palestinian professor who has been linked to known terrorists.The professor is Sami Al-*. He's been at the University of South Florida since 1986.Al-* has been the subject of continuous death threats, because of his support for anti-Israeli interests. His appearance on a national T-V talk show after the September terror attacks prompted a stream of threats against him and the university.Since then, he's been on paid leave as a security risk.The head of the university says his continued employment there has caused alumni and university donors to withdraw their support. She could have fired the professor on her own -- but she wanted the trustees to have their say.The next step would be a letter of notice of dismissal. Al-* would have ten days to respond.Al-* once headed an academic think tank that was later connected to fund-raising for the Palestinian Islamic Jihad. He was videotaped at some of the group's conferences a decade ago, shouting "Death to Israel."[Now where is the INS when you really need them!]
