Suspended University of South Florida professor Sami Al-Arian is seen in a Jan. 6, 2003, photo in Tampa, Fla. Al-Arian, who is indicted on terrorism charges, fired his attorneys Friday, July 25, 2003, and will represent himself. Al-Arian is still hoping to raise enough money to hire Washington attorney William Moffitt, but if he fails, he will have to go it alone when his case goes to trial in about 18 months. The U.S. government accuses him of being the North American head of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad. He faces life in prison if convicted. (AP Photo/Chris O'Meara)
