Taliban threaten to murder captured US Soldier if Aafia Siddiqui isn’t released

Aafia Siddiqui being of course the MIT-trained Pakistani scientist who was caught in Pakistan on suspicion of terrorism activities, then tried to kill a CIA official by trying to grab their gun and kill them while being interrogated.  She was just convicted in NY of attempted murder US soldiers in Afghanistan.  Now the Taliban are threatening to execute the America  soldier being held there.

Paktribune The Afghan Taliban on Thursday demanded the release of Dr Aafia Siddiqui, a Pakistani scientist who has been convicted by the US court on charges of her alleged attempt to murder US soldiers in Afghanistan, and threatened to execute an American soldier they were holding currently. They claimed Aafia Siddiqui’s family had approached the Taliban network through a Jirga of notables, seeking their assistance to put pressure on the US to provide her justice.

“Being Muslims, it becomes our religious and moral obligation to help the distressed Pakistani woman convicted by the US court on false charges,” said a senior Afghan Taliban commander. The commander, whose militant network is holding the US soldier, Bowe Bergdahl, called our sources from an undisclosed location in Afghanistan and threatened to execute the American trooper if their demand was not met. He claimed AafiaSiddiqui’s family had approached the Taliban network through a Jirga of notables, seeking their assistance to put pressure on the US to provide her justice.

“We tried our best to make the family understand that our role may create more troubles for the hapless woman, who was already in trouble. On their persistent requests, we have now decided to include Dr Aafia Siddiqui’s name in the list of our prisoners in US custody that we delivered to Americans in Afghanistan for swap of their soldier in our custody,” explained the militant commander….

Up till now, the mainstream media has done yoeman’s work in making sure there is no connection between Siddiqui and her Islamic beliefs.  Maybe now that the Taliban are involved they’ll get the hint? I suspect not.

    More proof that we are in a war. This would be an exchange of POWs. You don't have prisoner exchanges with criminals. How long will it take for Obama to make a decision on this problem? Don't hold your breath.
  • SirWilhelm: We'd all turn blue, if we held our breath on Obama the panty waist Muslim lover. GRRRRR

    The standoff between the U.S. and Islamic terrorists is beginning to look more and more like the standoff between Israel and Islamic terrorists. Now we have an offer for a prisoner swap. How many of them for one of ours? The price will only go up. In numerous ways.

    Maybe this is because the U.S. is now 'occupied' land. Because Islam is now the world's largest, single 'religion', we live in a Muslim world. Therefore, any land that is not Muslim dominated is now 'occupied'. And we owe Tribute for this privilege.

    This bytch shouldn't have even made it to the jail. She should have been shot down and shot again to "make sure".
  • Tonto: Like the way you would 'make sure.' Just wish I were a man for a day or two, well then I would be in trouble. So thanks for your strength, determination and patriotism for America.

    In my hands, she'd be waterboarded and hanged.

    She'd know the true meaning of the word "Hell".

    I'd give her my best to remember what the damn muslims did to
    Daniel Pearl.


    After that, I'd crowd Afghanistan's skies with thousands of Predators
    that would force the muslims to dwell in caves for years to come.
    Each time they'd get their asses out from their holes, they'd surely
    face certain death from above.
  • JEWHAWK: Thank you. Love the great idea and mind picture.
