Aafia Siddique Had a List of Targets in New York & Chem-Bio Weapons Information in her Possession

When she was arrested in Afghanistan last month, Aafia Siddique allegedly had in her possession maps of New York, a list of potential targets that included the Statue of Liberty, Times Square, the subway system and the animal disease center on Plum Island, detailed chemical, biological and radiological weapon information that has been seen only in a handful of terrorist cases, as well as a thumb drive packed with emails, ABC News has learned.

That haul of information has led multiple government sources to describe Siddique, a 36 year-old MIT graduate, as a potential "treasure trove" of information on terrorist supporters, sympathizers or 'sleepers' in the United States and overseas.

"She is the most significant capture in five years," said former CIA officer John Kiriakou, who said she lives up to her reputation as an alleged terrorist 'Mata Hari.'

Dang, the Beeb ,(BBC), ran a story about how she was a housewife, mistreated by the mean Americans. .

Thanks for posting this. I just watched the Ross report on the ABC evening news. Sounds like we could have some pretty serious information.

MIT will probably get her a real good lawyer....

[vetvetdoug]

Isn’t that the reporter for CNN? Her name was Koala Lemur or something....

[Yorlik803]

Maybe we could put her up at Obamas house for a while....

[tiki]

Waterboarding isn’t torture, is it? I vote for that.

I wouldn’t cry much if they pulled her toenails off one at a time but I can be unusually cruel when I think about 9/11 and all that these animals have caused.

[El Cid]

I thought this was a story of a talking goat...never mind.

[txhurl]

In five years? Wow.

[supremedoctrine]

Chomsky has already volunteered to do a “lawyer Search”.

[Sacajaweau]

I’ve seen a similar symbol recently. Anyone know what it is?

"who said she lives up to her reputation as an alleged terrorist 'Mata Hari.'

Actually, the original Mata Hari may not have been much of a spy and certainly was not a terrorist, IIRC. The real Mata Hari executed by the French army in WWI was more of a courtesan who made the bad choice of sleeping with too many military officers. She may or may not have been conducting espionage, but I don't think much was ever proved.

This one, otoh, sounds like a real deal terrorist, but watch how the political left will embrace her as a misunderstood housewife with an Islamist bent.

[MNJohnnie]

WOW!

[GWMcClintock]

If you’re speaking of the symbol in the picture behind her, it’s the international symbol for “Biohazard”.

[Sacajaweau]

Thanks...Reminded me of the Obama symbol that we’ve been seeing.

[abigailsmybaby]

ROTFLMAO!!

[BOBTHENAILER]

If she's a treasure trove, then by all means, let's mine that treasure however we must.
