I recall some of you interested in Aafia Siddiqui. Here's some recent stories I came upon.

From above:

"Pakistani Aafia Siddiqui, the only prominent female figure in al-Qaida, considered by the United States to be a likely "fixer" for the group in the United States and elsewhere. Media reports have said Siddiqui was in Monrovia to iron out problems between other al-Qaida operatives.

Just keep feeling that SA woman in McAllan TX may have been Aafia.

KH, a good book about this topic is Blood for Stones by Doug Farah.

The diamond trade is ideologically neutral. As one Israeli buyer quoted in the book says, while doing business in the same establishment as a Hizbollah buyer, "Here's it's strictly business".
