Aafia Siddiqui demands no Jewish jurors at attempted murder trial Prosecutors say that Ms Siddiqui, 37, fled the US in 2003 after marrying an al-Qaeda operative James Bone in New York January 15, 2010 timesonline.co.uk A Pakistani scientist who is the only woman accused of working with the al-Qaeda leadership has demanded that Jews should be excluded from the jury at her trial in New York. Aafia Siddiqui called for jurors to undergo genetic testing in an outburst in federal court in Manhattan yesterday. “If they have a Zionist or Israeli background . . . they are all mad at me,” Ms Siddiqui, an American-educated neuroscientist, said. “I have a feeling everyone here is them [sic] — subject to genetic testing. They should be excluded if you want to be fair,” she told the judge. Prosecutors say that Ms Siddiqui, 37, who has a biology degree from the prestigious Massachusetts Institute of Technology and a PhD from Brandeis University, fled the US in 2003 after marrying an al-Qaeda operative She was arrested outside an Afghan government compound in Ghazni province, allegedly carrying two lb of poisonous sodium cyanide and information on chemical, biological and radiological weapons, as well as descriptions of US landmarks such as Wall Street and the Statue of Liberty. She is charged with allegedly grabbing a US Army officer’s M4 rifle and shooting at a team of FBI agents who were trying to question her on July 18, 2008. She was shot in the stomach in the exchange of fire and taken to the US a few weeks later to face federal charges of attempted murder and assault. US officials allege that Ms Siddiqui has links to top al-Qaeda suspects. They say that the mother of three is married to Ali Abd al-Aziz Ali, known as Ammar al-Blackuch, a nephew of Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the self-proclaimed mastermind of the September 11 terror attacks, and a cousin of Ramzi Yousef, who was convicted of the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Centre in New York. The criminal charges do not mention al-Qaeda, however, and the judge has barred prosecutors from telling the jury about her alleged ties to the terror group. Nevertheless, Ms Siddiqui, who wore a white scarf covering her face in court, vowed not to co-operate with the trial. “I’m boycotting the trial, just to let all of you know,” she said. “There’s too many injustices. “I’m out of this,” she added. After the judge thanked her, she put her head down on the defence table and went silent as prosecutors flashed a photograph of her face on a television monitor. “I don’t trust you,” she told the judge at one point before the potential jurors packed the courtroom. The outburst was the latest of a series of courtroom rants by Ms Siddiqui, who has also tried to fire her lawyers. Her trial had been delayed for psychiatric tests, but most concluded that she was faking mental illness. After jury selection is complete, opening arguments will begin on Tuesday.

Ann I get the early morning alerts from the NY Times----what a way to start the day! Worth noting is what the left is saying-----. Here is an article by Frank Rich who is carrying water for the Democrat Left----- My assessment----you know there is steam in the Tea Baggers' grassroots movement when the left has to have someone to negate and attack this popular all-American grassroots movement. nytimes.com By the way, I like Steele's potatoe(potato) Salad and Fried Chicken----sure beats Barry Soetoro Barrack Hussein Obama's berry juice and nibbles. Frank Rich misses the truth, there has always been room in the Republican Party for people of all national backgrounds. Of course, Frank Rich is simply writing leftist garbage. Garbage in and Garbage out.
