A Palestinian terrorist responsible for the deaths of two Jews in a supermarket bombing in Jerusalem was being deported from the United States to Jordan on Tuesday, after losing her American citizenship.
Rasmea Odeh, 70, pleaded guilty in April to immigration fraud, having failed to disclose her criminal record when applying for a US visa in 1994 and when applying for US citizenship a decade later.
As a member of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine terrorist group, Odeh was involved in the bombing of a Jerusalem supermarket in 1969, in which the 21-year-old Leon Kanner and 22-year-old Edward Joffe were killed and nine others were injured. She was sentenced to life in prison by an Israeli court in 1970, but served 10 years, being released in 1980 as part of a prisoner exchange.
She lived in Jordan for the next 15 years, before leaving for the US.
