Radical NGO Founder Riad Hamad Found Dead, Probably Murdered Suicide

heh - eating their own?
AUSTIN, Texas -- Police on Thursday identified a man who was found bound with duct tape in Lady Bird Lake in East Austin.

Parkgoers discovered the body of Riad Hamad, 55, Wednesday afternoon just east of the Interstate 35 bridge near Festival Beach. Hamad was a computer teacher at Small Middle School and had been planning a trip to Palestine to teach children there.

Witnesses who found Hamad said the man had duct tape on his face, and his hands were tied. Police have called the death suspicious. Investigators on Thursday said family and other sources have told them that Hamad was suicidal.


Hamad ran the Palestine Children's Welfare Fund (PCWF), a radical Gaza-based "charity" that helped children by teaching them to hate Jews. He sued a number of people and entities like David Horowitz, NGO Monitor and others, lost big and had to pay court costs.

#1  Police have called the death suspicious. Obvious candidates for the FBI Academy. After Quantico they can star as terrorism investigators in the Sgt Schultz Section of the department.
(Hamad) sued a number of people and entities like David Horowitz, NGO Monitor and others, lost big and had to pay court costs. Darn, now they won't be able to squeeze his hide for the money.
