| Finally, after decades, we've got rid of her. |
[Ynet] A 70-year-old Palestinian woman who was deported from the United States for concealing a decades-old bombing conviction has arrived in Jordan.
Rasmea Odeh said Wednesday that she was "exhausted and angry."
| Enjoy life as an old, unconnected female in the Muslim Third World, my dear. Even the PFLP won't care anymore. |
In 1970, Odeh was convicted of two Jerusalem bombings, including one that killed two people. She says she confessed under torture. She was released in a 1979 prisoner swap between Israel and the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine.
Odeh didn't disclose her criminal record when applying for a US visa and later for US citizenship. Her 2014 conviction for lying on her application was vacated after an appeal, but she made a deal with the government when prosecutors said they would take her to a second trial.
In Chicago, Odeh was associate director of the Arab American Action Network, which provides social services and education.
