The mother of Democrat Michigan candidate for U.S. Senate, Abdul El-Sayed, worked for a terrorism linked group that funded Osama bin Laden, the Taliban, and Hamas, according to a new bombshell report.
Just yesterday, the Gateway Pundit reported that El-Sayed’s half sister is a radical leftist professor at the University of Chicago who allegedly assaulted a police officer at an anti-ICE protest and now this. What’s next?
This family clearly has some serious issues.

Docs: Abdul El-Sayed’s mother worked for designated terror group IARA that ‘provided direct financial support’ to Osama bin Laden, Taliban, Hamas
Jacqueline El-Sayed married El-Sayed’s father, Mohamed El-Sayed, not long after he immigrated to the U.S. in the early 1980s with Fatten Fathy Elkomy, the U.S. Senate candidate’s birth mother.
“They ended up getting divorced,” El-Sayed said of his birth parents during a 2017 speech before the Islamic Foundation. “And my mother, she remarried a gentleman who was working as a translator in the Middle East and moved back to the Middle East.”
From 1999 through at least 2004, Elkomy worked for the Islamic American Relief Agency, also known as the Islamic African Relief Agency, which operated over 40 offices throughout the world ostensibly focused on health care, orphans, and disadvantaged people in areas of conflict.
In October 2004, the U.S. Department of Treasury designated the worldwide network, along with five senior officials, as an organization supporting terrorism, including support for Osama Bin Laden, the mastermind behind the 9/11 terrorist attacks carried out by al-Qaeda that killed nearly 3,000 Americans.
More from Newsmax:
The revelations add another politically sensitive issue for El-Sayed as he battles Republican Mike Rogers for Michigan’s open Senate seat.
El-Sayed narrowly defeated Rep. Haley Stevens in the Aug. 4 Democrat primary and is seeking the seat being vacated by retiring Democrat Sen. Gary Peters.
El-Sayed’s campaign biography emphasizes that he was raised by his Egyptian immigrant father, Mohamed, and his stepmother, Jackie, in Michigan.
The Midwesterner reported that El-Sayed has rarely discussed his birth mother during the campaign, although he referenced her work as a psychiatric nurse practitioner while advocating for Medicare for All last year.
What would it take for Democrats to abandon this guy?
Are family connections to terrorists really not enough?
