Attorney: Terror suspect's family wants to know where she is
BOSTON (AP) The family of terror suspect Aafia Siddiqui, a former MIT student who is being hunted worldwide by police and intelligence agencies, says they don't know where she is and are worried about her, an attorney for the family said Friday.

~snip~

Siddiqui, 32, a native of Pakistan who studied at MIT and Brandeis and was an activist in the Boston area Islamic community, is one of seven people being sought because of their possible connections to al-Qaida as the possibility looms of a terrorist attack this summer.

Authorities have said she returned to Pakistan shortly after the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks with her then-husband and three children. She then traveled back and forth between Pakistan and the United States before returning to Pakistan a little over a year ago, an attorney for her brother told The Houston Chronicle this week.

Her whereabouts have been a mystery since March 2003, when the FBI issued a global alert for her arrest.

1. Brandeis?
Brandeis is a Jewish university.

Interesting place for a Muslim terrorist to go.

9. it's also Abbie Hoffman's alma mater
Not that he was a Muslim terrorist, but Brandeis produced some high achievers in the field of anarchy.

2. sounds to me like shes an operative working for the US.
Was'nt there a thread here a day or so ago saying that she had been arrested in the past and she had been released and deported? Are these people being set up to take the fall for the next "event"?

4. yeah, I just posted it in #3 but here's the text
That is akin to a jail guard telling his boss that it’s not a matter
of if but when all the prisoners are going to escape.

If the individuals who staff our intelligence agencies are
unable to prevent large-scale terrorist attacks then they
should be fired. And yet since September 11 nobody in
a position of authority has been sacked and in fact the
majority have received raises in addition to the millions of
extra funding that has poured in to the FBI and CIA. They
have been rewarded for their complicity in 9/11.

5. My worst suspicions
are that these people are in custody. An event will be staged and they will be "apprehended", accused, and convicted by TeamBush who will take the credit for saving mankind.

7. Another good reason for secret detentions
then you can pull terrorists out of your hat whenever you need to create a situation.

10. Yeah. Don't take any chances for the next "Mission Accomplished"
Accomplish the mission first, then tell the public that you're going to accomplish it, and then tell them you accomplished it.

The last thing they need is another mission unaccomplished.

6. Former Houston resident sought as al-Qaida `fixer'
Woman disappears after returning to her home in Pakistan
By DALE LEZON
Copyright 2004 Houston Chronicle
AL-QAIDA






One day in March last year, Ismat Siddiqui left her grown daughter and grandchildren at her Karachi, Pakistan, home for a routine errand. When she came back a short time later, they had vanished.

They haven't been seen or heard from since.

Now, her youngest daughter, Aafia Siddiqui, 32, a former Houston resident and a neurological sciences expert, is the subject of a worldwide dragnet, wanted by the FBI as a terrorist recruited by al-Qaida to help attack the United States this summer.

Ismat Siddiqui refuses to believe it, insisting her daughter is a sweet, single mother who adores her children.

"The family does not have any knowledge that she helped anybody associated with al-Qaida," said Annette Lamoreaux, an American Civil Liberties Union attorney who represented Aafia Siddiqui's brother, Muhammad Siddiqui, when FBI questioned him last year in Houston about his sister's disappearance and possible connection to al-Qaida.

8. Now if she was a christian white girl
they would be saying her disappearance was either a kidnapping or a murder.
