Plastic surgeon who testified for 1993 WTC bombing cleric wins NJ Dem primary
Adam Hisham Hamawy, a plastic surgeon and former Army combat medic, won a Democratic primary in New Jersey despite scrutiny over his past ties to a convicted Islamic cleric. He testified in the 1996 trial of Sheikh Omar Abdel Rahman, who was convicted for his role in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing. Hamawy's campaign has characterized the criticism as 'guilt-by-association' shaming, and he has denied any wrongdoing.
