Palestinian terrorist Aisha Odeh admitted on Palestinian television that she placed a bomb in a Jerusalem supermarket in 1969, which killed two Israelis. She also stated that her accomplice to the murder was Rasmieh Odeh. Both terrorists served 10 years of their life sentences in Israeli prisons, until they were released in a prisoner exchange in 1979.
In 2014, Rasmieh Odeh was convicted of immigration fraud in the United States, for concealing her criminal record when applying for citizenship. However, after one month in jail, Odeh was released on bond pending a new trial on Jan. 10, 2017, following an appeal to include evidence that was excluded in the first trial.
In her defense, Odeh claims among other things that she did not commit the bombing, and was forced to plead guilty because of torture.
As the Jerusalem Post reported today:
"Most significantly, the decision means that Rasmea Yousef Odeh will get to argue that her confession and conviction in Israel came as the result of torture by Israeli security forces - potentially putting the Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency) itself "on trial" in a US court... Odeh's supporters claim that her original trial in Israel was marked with 'bias and inconsistencies,' and that Odeh confessed her involvement in terrorism only after she was tortured by security authorities."
However, this PMW video shows the terrorist Aisha Odeh admitting to the bombing on PA TV and naming Rasmieh Odeh as her accomplice.

Official PA TV host: "Today's episode is dedicated to the great female fighter, who shines and who is a veteran of the struggle, Aisha Odeh... We are always proud of the fighters’ struggles, all the more so when a giant of the struggle, Aisha Odeh, is with us..."
Aisha Odeh: "Immediately after the 1967 war (i.e., the Six Day War) we changed [the name] from the Arab Nationalist Movement to the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine. We were organized. We engaged in resistance to the occupation in all its forms – civil disobedience, demonstrations, rallies, petitions, organizing the public, training, sending girls to train with weapons. We published posters to encourage the public to resist, to not collaborate with the enemy and the occupation. We engaged in all the types of struggle, and finally, there was no choice but to engage in armed activity. We had discussions about it. I turned to involvement in armed activity. We carried out an operation (i.e., terrorist attack) in western Jerusalem on Feb. 22 (sic., 21,) 1969."
Official PA TV host: "When you carried out the operation and afterwards, how were you arrested?"
Aisha Odeh: "Of course Israel arrests many people in such situations... They gathered information and found evidence that led to the people who carried out the operation... A year later I was tried, I and the members of the cell – Rasmieh Odeh and Yaqub Odeh."
Official PA TV host: "Are you all from the same family?"
Aisha Odeh: "No, Rasmieh Odeh and Yaqub Odeh are from Lifta. I am from Dir Jarir. In addition there were Samia Al-Tawil and Mahmoud Al-Ubeid. The five of us were tried together, even though I had no connection to any of them aside from Rasmieh. Yaqub Odeh was sentenced to 3 life sentences, Rasmieh Odeh was sentenced to 3 life sentences, and I was sentenced to 2 life sentences... One life sentence for carrying out an operation, one life sentence for not reporting the operation, and ten years for my membership in the [PFLP] organization... Israelis died [in the bombing]. We placed two bombs. One bomb exploded and one bomb was discovered a few moments before it exploded. Two were killed and 10 (sic., 20) were wounded..."
Official PA TV host: "Dear viewers, we have reached the end of this episode from the home of fighter Aisha Odeh."
