former university professor charged with plotting to bankroll Hamas terrorists was once asked by the CIA whether he wanted a job as a spy, his attorney told a jury Thursday. |
Quote: | Attorney William Moffitt showed jurors a June 17, 1996, letter on CIA stationary telling Ashqar, then a post-graduate business student at the University of Mississippi, that he might want a clandestine services job.
"Operations officers serve overseas as collectors of information," the letter said. It told him to "tick the box below" to pursue such a job.
But Moffitt said that when the job was suggested, federal agents already had searched his house, found the documents and tapped his phone. |
