Trump must demand Jordan surrender the celeb jihadist who murdered my American child
A thunderous explosion stunned Israel’s capital Aug. 9, 2001, destroying a crowded Sbarro pizzeria.
Seven of the 16 murdered in the Jerusalem blast were children. One was my daughter Malki, 15, killed as she waited in line to order lunch.
The United States has failed for more than a decade to enforce the extradition of the bragging jihadist who faces trial in Washington for what she calls “my operation.”
Ahlam Tamimi, a native Jordanian, walked free from an Israeli prison as part of a 2011 deal the Jewish state was extorted to do with Hamas. She has since lived a life of celebrity in Jordan.
But President Trump can bring justice to a murdered American.
Consider whom Jordan harbors.
Tamimi, then a journalism student, part-time TV newsreader and at 21 the first woman ever admitted to Hamas’ terrorist ranks, carefully selected the fast-food outlet.
She boasted in a viral interview she targeted the pizzeria because of the crowds of Jewish children inside and the proximity of a Jewish religious school.
Tamimi’s Hamas handlers furnished her with a human bomb — a young, radicalized Islamist lugging a guitar case packed with explosives and flesh-ripping nails.
