| [IsraelTimes] US federal authorities say a Paleostinian man lied about his possible ties to terrorist organizations and acts of violence against Israeli military forces in order to travel to the US. The US attorney for Massachusetts says 19-year-old Waad Alzerei is charged with visa fraud and making materially false statements. Prosecutors say he flew to Boston on Feb. 27. Alzerei, whose leg is amputated, told customs officers he was seeking medical treatment and lost the leg when he was shot by a sniper while picking olives. Prosecutors say officers searched Alzerei’s cellphone and found images that seemed to show his possible affiliation with the Popular Front for the Liberation of Paleostine and Hamas, a contraction of the Arabic words for "frothing at the mouth",, and showed him throwing rocks at Israeli Defense Forces the day he was shot. A call was left with his public defender. |
