A former combat medic running for Congress lied under oath as a defense witness for Omar Abdel Rahman aka “the Blind Sheikh,” who incited the World Trade Center bombing in 1993, a watchdog group claims.
Adam Hamawy, 56, an Egyptian-born physician and former Army trauma surgeon, is the leading candidate in Tuesday’s primary for New Jersey’s 12th Congressional District, backed by streamer Hasan Piker and left-wing senator Bernie Sanders.
But his association with Abdel Rahman has come back to haunt him. At the terrorist’s 1995 trial for inciting the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center, which killed six, Hamawy was a witness for his defense.
He had met Abdel Rahman in 1991 in New Jersey and shared a ride with him to a conference in Detroit that year, named “Towards a Global Islamic Economy,” according to a court transcript.
When asked about the trip during the trial, Hamawy — who has never been accused of wrongdoing in relation to the bombing — testified that the subject of the conference was economics of the Middle East. When asked if he’d ever heard Abdel Rahman speak about jihad against America, he replied: “No, not against America,” according to the transcript obtained by The Post.
However, when shown a transcript of the speech and further prompted during questioning by a federal prosecutor, he then admitted Abdel Rahman had spoken about jihad — an Arabic term often interpreted as Holy War — but claimed it was taken out of context and he didn’t mean jihad “in specific.”
