What happened, according to court documents: Ali Saleh Kahlah al-Marri is a Qatari national who earned a bachelor's degree in business administration from Bradley University in Peoria, Ill., in the 1990s. On Sept. 10, 2001, he legally returned to the United States with his wife and children, saying he was going to obtain a master's degree from Bradley in computer science.

The charges include making false statements to the FBI, making false statements in a bank account application and using a fake ID for a bank account. Al-Marri has pleaded not guilty.
