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.
