Abdul El-Sayed’s Mom Worked for Accused Terror-Funding Group

  • On Tuesday, The Midwesterner reported that Fatten Fathy Elkomy, mother of Democratic US Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed, worked for the Islamic American/African Relief Agency, which the Treasury Department designated as a financier for Hamas and the Taliban.
  • Operating globally with 40 offices, IARA moved funds to the Palestinian territories and Taliban fighters between 1999 and 2004, allegedly serving as a conduit for terrorist activities violating federal sanctions.
  • Evidence filed in the Western District of Missouri references Elkomy 14 times, documenting her participation in eight wire transfers, though neither she nor Mohamed Elkomy faced terrorism charges.
  • Interviewed by the St. Louis Post-Dispatch in 2004, Elkomy denied terrorist connections, stating she has been "working there serving orphans and children with at least one deceased parent, and it breaks my heart they" lack help.
  • Abdul El-Sayed recently won the Democratic Senate primary in Michigan, defeating Rep. Haley Stevens, and faces Republican Mike Rogers in November after earlier scrutiny for comments following a Michigan synagogue attack.
