Plea Set for Palestinian in U.S. Accused of Hiding Terror Past
(Politico) Josh Gerstein - A Palestinian woman who lived in the U.S. for nearly two decades before being accused of failing to reveal her conviction in Israel for the 1969 bombings of a supermarket and the British Consulate in Jerusalem, looks set to enter a guilty plea next week in federal court in Detroit. Rasmieh Odeh was indicted in October on charges that when she applied for residence and citizenship in the U.S., she concealed her membership in the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine and the fact that she'd spent time in Israeli prisons. She was sentenced in Israel to life behind bars, but was released in a prisoner swap in 1979.
