At the ceremony, Mamdani made Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch hand the pen to his chief counsel, Ramzi Kassem, who slipped into the ceremony, grabbed his trophy, and left.
Kassem represented al-Qaeda operative Ahmed al-Darbi, who was sent to Guantanamo Bay after a 2002 conviction for terrorism. His sister married Khalid al-Mihdhar, a 9/11 hijacker who participated in the attack on the Pentagon.
