Islamic State demanded “Lady al-Qaeda” in exchange for US hostages

“Lady Al Qaeda” continues to pop up in the most notorious places. Aafia Siddiqui was convicted of attempting to murder Americans in Afghanistan after she was found with plans for a “mass casualty attack” in the United States, along with a list of New York landmarks.

Muslim terrorist Aafia Siddiqui is an MIT-trained neuroscientist who married a top Al Qaeda operative who intended to blow up gas stations or poison water reservoirs in the United States.. She is a possible associate of Majid Khan and is believed to have links to Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, mastermind of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. She allegedly arranged travel documents for another suspected terrorist.

Siddiqui, a Pakistani scientist also known as “Lady al-Qaida,” is serving an 86-year prison sentence after being convicted of attempting to assault and murder American officers in Afghanistan. Prosecutors say she grabbed an Army officer’s M-4 rifle and fired it at another officer and other members of a U.S. interview team at an Afghan police compound in July 2008. This savage should rot in prison for the rest of her life.

The fully veiled Siddiqui demanded a Jew-free jury at her New York trial. Obama’s civilian trials for enemy combatants make a mockery of our resolve and determination to defeat the savage enemies of freedom.

Jihadists across the globe have been demanding Siddiqui’s release. Pakistan had been negotiating for a trade for the notorious female neuroscientist and Al Qaeda operative being held at a federal prison in Texas. Hamas-CAIR has been agitating and organizing for her release.

One of Siddiqui’s lawyers, Farha Ahmed, led  anti-Geller protests outside a Texas venue where I was scheduled to speak. She protested free speech under the sign, “Republicans Hate Bigotry.” Ahmed ran for Sugar Land City Council District 4 but was roundly defeated, thanks to the great Americans who alerted Texans to the subversive politician in their midst. Ahmed lied about her involvement in the Lady Al Qaeda case. Despite the craven quisling government officials like the DA, who wrote glowing letters to their constituents endorsing the stealth jihadist candidate Ahmed, and the fact that her terror-tied alliances were scrubbed from the web, she was defeated.

Fara Ahmed, Texas Republican and the Islamic State – one degree of separation, Lady al Qaeda. That, too, is jihad in America.

Islamic jihadists and supremacists have been trying to free Aafia Siddiqui for years. Apparently she is very important to the global jihad. Note also that she is “known as Al-Qaeda’s highest ranking female associate.” Reports of some huge rift and rivalry between the Islamic State and al-Qaeda are exaggerated. They have the same goal and the same understanding of Islam.

“ISIS demanded Texas prisoner in exchange for U.S. hostages,” by Kolten Parker, San Antonio Express-News, August 22, 2014:

SAN ANTONIO – The Islamic militant group ISIS reportedly offered to trade American hostages for cash and the liberation of a Pakistani woman who is being incarcerated in Fort Worth prior to beheading journalist James Foley this week.

Aafia Siddiqui, known as Al-Qaeda’s highest ranking female associate, was convicted in 2010 in New York for attempted murder and assault. Siddiqui, a neuroscientist with a bachelor’s degree from MIT and a Ph.D from Brandeis University, is imprisoned at the Federal Medical Center Carswell, a women’s prison in Fort Worth with 1,828 inmates.

The liberation of Siddiqui was among a “laundry list” of demands from the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria in an offer to release American hostages, according to The New York Times. The United States has a policy against negotiating with terrorist groups.

Siddiqui, 42, allegedly was financier and courier for Al Qaeda, which cut ties to ISIS earlier this year because of the group’s extremely violent tactics. Siddiqui was sentenced to more than 80 years for attempting to shoot two US Army officers who were interrogating her in Afghanistan, which she denied.

Siddiqui, who orginally moved to Houston in 1989 with her brother to pursue her education, was shot in the incident. The Pakistani government maintains Siddiqui is innocent of the charges and has called on the U.S. to release her.

On Tuesday, a video uploaded by the extremist group showed the beheading of Foley, an American freelance journalist who was captured nearly two years ago while reporting in Syria. A member of ISIS, dressed in all black, threatened more violence against American hostages held by the group if the United States continues airstrikes in the Middle East against the terrorist group in the video.

President Barack Obama has said the people responsible will be brought to justice and Secretary of State John Kerry tweeted Thursday that ISIS will be “destroyed” and “crushed.”

Gov. Rick Perry on Thursday said there is “great concern” that members of ISIS or other extremist groups could be infiltrating the country through the Texas-Mexico border.
