Editor's Note: For greater detail on the Rasmieh Odeh case, her elevation to hero by Palestinian advocates and the impact on her victims, please watch the Investigative Project on Terrorism's five-part video series, "Spinning a Terrorist Into a Victim."
Days before Rasmieh Odeh is expected to walk into a Detroit federal courtroom and plead guilty to naturalization fraud, her attorneys are demanding that a judge strike the prosecution's language detailing her direct involvement in two 1969 Jerusalem bombings that killed two people.
According to a stipulation filed last week, Odeh has signed a plea agreement with the government. The Chicago-based Palestinian activist was indicted in 2013, with prosecutors alleging that she lied on her application to become an American citizen by failing to disclose her arrest for the bombings along with her subsequent conviction and 10 years spent in Israeli prisons.
