Former Detroit schools administrator faces terrorism trial

Kifah Jayyousi, a former Detroit Public Schools administrator who has advanced engineering degrees from Wayne State, where he also has taught, will go to trial this week in a high-profile terrorism case. He is accused of helping create a North American network that recruited, bankrolled and equipped Islamic extremists to fight overseas. However, Jayyousi's attorney said his client is a law-abiding American who is guilty of nothing more then expressing controversial yet constitutionally-protected views. The story ran originally in the Detroit Free Press.
