A Muslim activist is accused of violating U-S economic sanctions imposed in 1986 after terrorist bombings tied to Libya in Vienna and Rome. Abdul Rahman al-Amoudi made a court appearance in Alexandria, Virginia, today as part of a federal investigation of terrorist financing. He's accused of having illegal dealings with Libya. Investigators say those dealings include accepting money from the Libyan mission to the United Nations and failing to disclose numerous trips to Libya on his passport. Prosecutors say the activist could face a maximum prison sentence of ten years. But he says he was just seeking money for his Islamic advocacy group and sought out Libya because it has renounced terrorism. The US government considers Libya a sponsor of terrorism. **PHOTO CAPTION*** Abdul Rahman al-Amoudi.
