A suspect arrested yesterday for her alleged role in an anti-Israel terror campaign worked for the far-left US Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed, The Detroit News reports.
Mariam Odeh, 24, of Dearborn, Michigan, is one of eight anti-Zionist activists charged with “terrorizing” University of Michigan leaders, Jewish sites and police due to their perceived support for Israel.
The suspects allegedly surveilled and threatened their targets, vandalized their homes and businesses, and discussed killing and torturing their opponents and their families.
El-Sayed is a far-left, harsh critic of Israel who is running for the US Senate in Michigan.
Odeh worked for El-Sayed’s campaign between February and April, the report says.
