On June 29, 2001, the Associated Press reported
that "a group of
Muslim leaders walked out of a White House meeting..., angered
when
a Secret Service officer ordered one of them out
of the building." The evicted student "is the
nephew of Mazen
Al-Najjar, a Palestinian who was jailed in Florida
for three years after
the government alleged he used an Islamic think
tank...as a front for terrorism. He was released last
December
after a panel of judges and Attorney General Janet
Reno agreed there was no reason to keep him behind bars."
