Arab-American arrested for sending drug money to West Bank

By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

A convenience store owner pleaded guilty to laundering drug money and sending the cash to cities in the West Bank.

Alaa Odeh, 30, faces up to 30 years in prison at sentencing Sept. 26, although he will likely get far less under federal sentencing guidelines.

Odeh was one of 67 people arrested in April as the United States and Canada said they had disrupted a major methamphetamine pipeline and seized tons of illegal chemicals.
