A shocked dad yesterday said he had no idea his Cambridge daughter had married Aftab Ali Khan, one of the Pakistani men detained last week in connection with the Times Square bombing probe.
“I never knew she was married to someone named that,” said Raymond Sylla of Buffalo, N.Y. “Wow.”
On Nov. 17, 2009, Khan married U.S. citizen Lila-Charlotte Fatou Sylla, 29, in a ceremony performed by a justice of the peace at Cambridge City Hall, according to a marriage certificate.
But Raymond Sylla said as far as he knew, his daughter wasn’t married to anyone. He said she lives in Cambridge, practices midwifery, teaches African drum and dance and has three children fathered by a different man.
“He was telling me they were going to be married,” said Raymond Sylla, referring to the father of his grandchildren
Sylla added he had not been in recent contact with his daughter.
“I don’t hear from her and my birthday just passed,” he said.
Lila-Charlotte Fatou Sylla could not be reached for comment. She is not facing any charges.
Khan, 27, his uncle Pir D. Khan, 43, and a third man, Mohammad Shafiq Rahman of Maine, were detained May 13 on immigration charges. They have not been charged criminally. The Khans have no ties to alleged Times Square bomber Faisal Shahzad, said their attorney, Saher Macarius.
“(Aftab Ali Khan) told that to the FBI and nobody can dispute that,” said Macarius. “He’s very upset. He’s never been in jail. He thought it was completely wrong accusations. That’s not what he expected from the United States government.”
The uncle and nephew had both planned to fly home to Pakistan by way of Dubai on June 6.

Liberals especially are so desperate to prove they are “Beyond racism”
Easy prey for the Islamofacists.
Go to Tia Juana.. the tourist bars on weekends are packed with Iranians looking to marry a dumb American women and get their papers..
Silly Liberals unaware they are not even 1/3 of a person and if not Muslim themselves do not even constitute or count as a permanent wife in the eyes of Islam.

Never has a country been so lax for so long for so many so willingly.
But many legal immigrants are bemused by the sheer lunacy of some stipulations in America; drivers tests in different languages, and similar ballots - ballots of babel, you might say.
He must be soooo proud.
