Student on trial for alleged terror promotion

BOISE, Idaho (AP) -- A University of Idaho graduate student went on trial Tuesday on charges he supported terrorism by running Web sites that recruited militants and raised money for groups promoting violence against the United States.
Sami Omar Al-Hussayen, a Saudi national working on his computer science doctoral degree, is charged with three counts of aiding terrorism and additional counts of visa fraud and making false statements.
U.S. District Judge Edward Lodge began questioning potential jurors Tuesday, and expected to have a panel seated by the end of the day.
Al-Hussayen is accused of helping to run Web sites that supported the militant Palestinian organization Hamas and other groups allegedly promoting terrorism.
Federal prosecutors say he provided "material support" to terrorists, a crime that was expanded under the Patroit Act -- the federal terrorism law passed after September 11 -- to include "expert advice or assistance."
