The suspected terrorist busted for fatally shooting two Israeli Embassy staffers has ties to a radical left-wing group that spearheaded Black Lives Matter protests and fiercely advocates on behalf of Palestinians. NY Post reporter Deirdre Bardolf shares this story.
Elias Rodriguez, 31, allegedly confessed to gunning down the couple outside the Capital Jewish Museum in Washington, DC, late Wednesday, when he was heard chanting, “Free, free Palestine,” cops said.

Rodriguez was once linked to the Party for Socialism and Liberation — a far-left group that regularly posts anti-Israel rhetoric on social media.
