Suspended RPI exhibit will not re-open
RENSSELAER, N.Y. -- Officials at RPI have decided not to re-open an exhibit that shows the artist as a suicide bomber.

Wafaa Bilal is a professor at the Art Institute of Chicago and was invited to the college as part of a visiting artists program. His exhibit was suspended last week by RPI officials after he said he hacked into the al-Qaeda game and inserted himself as a suicide bomber on a mission to kill President Bush.

RPI officials said the exhibit was suspended because it was derived from the product of a terrorist organization and it suggests the killing of the president.
