By Asaf Shalev<\/p>\n

The name Aafia Siddiqui became familiar to many on Saturday, when\u00a0a man took a rabbi and his congregants hostage in a synagogue in Colleyville near Fort Worth, Texas<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

That\u2019s because the hostage-taker was reportedly demanding the release of Siddiqui from prison.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

After Sept. 11, 2001, Siddiqui \u2014 a neuroscientist with a doctorate from Brandeis University \u2014 became the first woman accused of working with al-Qaeda leadership and was dubbed \u201cLady al-Qaeda\u201d in the press. She has family ties to Khalid Sheikh Muhammad, the chief architect of the terrorist attacks on New York and Washington, D.C. In 2010, she was convicted of attempting to kill American military personnel in Afghanistan while being detained in 2008 on suspicion of plotting attacks in New York.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ahead of her trial, Siddiqui\u00a0demanded that the court exclude Jews from the jury<\/a>\u00a0and said she wanted the jurors to undergo genetic testing.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIf they have a Zionist or Israeli background . . . they are all mad at me,\u201d Siddiqui told the judge. \u201cI have a feeling everyone here is them [sic] \u2014 subject to genetic testing. They should be excluded if you want to be fair,\u201d she said.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Siddiqui is serving an 86-year sentence at Federal Medical Center-Carswell prison in Fort Worth, where she was transferred in 2008. It is the only federal medical facility for women in the United States.<\/span><\/p>\n

Siddiqui has the support of family and an international network of activists who say she is innocent and are demanding her release. In 2016,\u00a0<\/span>supporters gathered in a demonstration\u00a0<\/span><\/a>outside the federal courthouse in Fort Worth to demand her release. Last September,\u00a0<\/span>a Pakistani government official called on the United States<\/span><\/a>\u00a0to let her out.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

CNN cited two unnamed law enforcement officials in reporting<\/span><\/a>\u00a0that the hostage-taker appeared to be motivated by a desire to free Siddiqui.\u00a0<\/span>NBC reported<\/span><\/a>\u00a0that the hostage-taker had the Colleyville rabbi call another rabbi in New York City to tell him the hostage-taker wished to get Siddiqui released, citing three unnamed law enforcement officials.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Early in the standoff with the hostage-taker,\u00a0<\/span>ABC<\/span><\/a>\u00a0said the hostage-taker was claiming to be Siddiqui\u2019s brother. The report circulated widely but it was later removed by the network.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In August, the Fort Worth chapter of CAIR, the Council on American-Islamic Relations, reported that Siddiqui told her lawyer she had been attacked in her cell by a woman who smashed a mug containing hot liquid in Siddiqui\u2019s face. The chapter\u2019s executive director Faizan Syed<\/span>\u00a0told the Fort Worth Star-Telegram<\/span><\/a>\u00a0that he believed Siddiqui was an innocent victim of rising Islamophobia in the post 9\/11 era.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Local and national units of\u00a0CAIR condemned the hostage-taking at Congregation Beth Israel<\/a>, as did the Free Dr. Aafia movement. Siddiqui\u2019s lawyer Marwa Elbially told CNN that Siddiqui was against the hostage-taking at the synagogue.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cShe does not want any violence perpetrated against any human being, especially in her name,\u201d Elbially was quoted as saying. \u201cIt obviously has nothing to do with Dr. Siddiqui or her family.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Born in Karachi, Pakistan, in 1972, Siddiqui is a neuroscientist who earned a bachelor\u2019s degree from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and a Ph.D. from Brandeis. She returned to Pakistan in 2002.<\/span><\/p>\n

Back in her home country, many consider Siddiqui a scapegoat in the United States\u2019 military response to the 9\/11 attacks. Pakistan\u2019s Senate declared her \u201cthe Daughter of the Nation\u201d and called on the Pakistani government to act to repatriate Siddiqui in\u00a0<\/span>a unanimous resolution in 2018.\u00a0<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

The U.S. government has the opposite view. Considering her a dangerous terrorism threat, U.S. officials once called Siddiqui \u201cthe most wanted woman in the world.\u201d Proposals to trade her for American hostages abroad have been rejected by the U.S. government multiple times.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Her release date from federal custody is set for 60 years from now.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
