Suspect In Michigan Anti-Israel Terror Campaign Worked For Senate Candidate Abdul El-Sayed, Report Says
A suspect arrested over an alleged anti-Israel terror campaign in Michigan previously worked for US Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed, according to a report by The Detroit News.
Mariam Odeh, 24, of Dearborn, Michigan, is among eight anti-Zionist activists charged with “terrorizing” University of Michigan officials, Jewish institutions, and police because of their perceived support for Israel.
Authorities allege the suspects monitored and threatened targets, carried out vandalism against homes and businesses, and discussed harming or torturing their opponents and their families.
The Detroit News reported that El-Sayed’s campaign says that Odeh was a paid staffer over a period of three months, not only two weeks as they initially claimed.
El-Sayed, a far-left candidate running for the US Senate in Michigan, has been a vocal critic of Israel.
According to the report, Odeh worked on El-Sayed’s campaign from February through April.
The allegations come as investigators continue examining the group’s activities and whether additional charges may follow.
