The prosecution said Aafia Siddiqui, a US-trained neuroscientist, picked up an army rifle and shot at the US agents.
None of the Americans was injured but Siddiqui, 37, was shot.
She was arrested by Afghan police in July 2008 on suspicion of carrying chemicals and notes referring to "mass-casualty attacks" in New York.
She has been accused of having links to the al-Qaeda leadership and rights groups say she has spent five years in secret US jails.
A jury in Manhattan found Siddiqui guilty of attempted murder, of armed assault, using and carrying a firearm. She faces a maximum sentence of life in prison.
The attempted murder was found not to have been premeditated.
Re: Dr. Aafia Siddiqui Guilty of US murder attempt
This is a blatant lie against her and her unjust imprisonment is out of pure hatred against Muslims.
February 3, 2010, New York, NY - The International Justice Network (IJNetwork) represents the family of Dr. Aafia Siddiqui in the United States. Attorneys from IJNetwork have been monitoring her trial, which began on January 19, and ended with a guilty verdict today in U.S. Federal Court in the Southern District of New York.
"Today marks the close of another sad chapter in the life of our sister, Dr. Aafia Siddiqui. Today she was unjustly found guilty. Though she was not charged with any terrorism-related offense, Judge Berman permitted the prosecution's witnesses to characterize our sister as a terrorist -- which, based on copious evidence, she clearly is not. Today's verdict is one of many legal errors that allowed the prosecution to build a case against our sister based on hate, rather than fact. We believe that as a result, she was denied a fair trial, and today's verdict must be overturned on appeal."
Accusations, accusations nothing more then false accusations! An accusation is enough to send someone to jail. Utter nonsense.
May Allah give her strength and grant her, her freedom.

Despite the rather desperate wishful thinking in this thread Supreme has it right, I'm afraid. The only 'crock of ****' story seems to have been the defence.
BTW, she didn't 'disarm' anybody; the story says the weapon was unattended.

That still doesn't add up. Why would a gun be left unnatended in such a place. It reeks of stupidity and incompetence. And if that is the case, shame on them!
Yet somehow, without any evidence whatsoever other than the contradictory words of the witnesses, the jury was convinced. So either her lawyer sucked or the jury had already made their mind up. ''Niqabi + death to america chants= terrorist" Probably the latter.
Heck, why was she arrested in the first place? Terrorist documents that they DIDN'T charge her for?

Our Lord! Verily, we have heard the call of one calling to Faith: 'Believe in your Lord,' and we have believed.

O Allah SWT Destroy these out of control satanic dogs who have abused and tortured our sister of Islam

It is easy to say that muslims are dead but what average muslim is suppose to do? This is the job of the govt. to investigate and negotiate, but our govts are weak and corrupt, if she was American, British, German, Chinese, or even Indian tell me what the govt would have done?
It is not Al-Birr (piety, righteousness, and obedience to Allâh, etc.) that you turn your faces towards east and (or) west (in prayers); but Al-Birr is (the quality of) the one who believes in Allâh, the Last Day, the Angels, the Book, the Prophets and gives his wealth, in spite of love for it, to the kinsfolk, to the orphans, and to Al-Masâkîn (the poor), and to the wayfarer, and to those who ask, and to set slaves free, performs As-Salât, and gives the Zakât, and keep their word whenever they make a promise, and who are patient in extreme poverty and ailment (disease) and at the time of persecution, hardship, and war. Such are the people of the truth and they are Al-Muttaqûn (the pious).

Oh yes, she did nothing wrong or out of the ordinary! Just tried to kill a bunch of innocent people! Nothing wrong with that, is there? Well I don't know why she's being treated so injustly, I mean she should be allowed to roam the streets free to try and kill people!
Sometimes I feel like sarcasm is the only way I can communicate with some people.
tortured and ruined the life
I doubt very much she's been tortured, what with torture being illegal and everything! This is America, not China, we're talking about.
