Former terrorist who lied on her immigration papers loses her US citizenship

Headline: “The US revokes a Palestinian fighter’s citizenship”

“Palestinian fighter Rasmieh Odeh (i.e., terrorist, murdered 2), 69, agreed to the American authorities’ plea deal, according to which she must leave the US and her citizenship will be taken from her.

According to a statement that was published by Odeh’s official [legal] defense team, she will not be imprisoned in the US, but will lose her American citizenship…

In 2015, Odeh was sentenced to 18 months of imprisonment in the US because she did not reveal the fact that she was convicted and held in the occupation’s prisons when she entered the country in 1995 and when she submitted a request for citizenship in 2004, but this sentence was later canceled.

Odeh was convicted of participating in a bombing in 1969 in Jerusalem, which led to the deaths of 2 and the wounding of nine others (sic., she wounded over 20). The ‘Israeli’ military court sentenced her to a life sentence (sic., 2 life sentences) in 1970 for two attacks on behalf of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP). She served ten years of imprisonment before she was released in a prisoner exchange deal in 1980 (sic., 1979).”
