  "account": "Dr. Khdiga R. Metwally, whose son Abdulrahman El Bahnasawy is an ISIS terrorist currently serving a 40-year prison sentence in the United States, is running for a seat on the Halton District School Board in Canada. The election is for Ward 1 and 2 in Milton, a town located approximately 30 miles outside of Toronto. Dr. Metwally is running for the position despite her son's criminal history, with her campaign emphasizing her educational background and commitment to creating safe learning environments. El Bahnasawy was sentenced to prison for his role in a plot to carry out terrorist attacks in New York City in 2016, an operation inspired by extremist ideology and planned to target high-traffic locations such as Times Square and subway systems.",
