The charges stem from her alleged actions the following day, when a team of US army officers and Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) agents arrived at the Afghan police compound to question her. The indictment alleges that Dr Siddiqui emerged from behind a curtain and fired a gun at the US personnel. Dr Siddiqui was shot and wounded in the incident; no other people received gunshot wounds. <br /><br />Prior to her arrest, Dr Siddiqui had reportedly “disappeared” for five years from a street in Karachi, Pakistan, with her three children, and there are allegations that she was held in secret US custody – allegations the US authorities have consistently denied.CNhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10877484524704475807noreply@blogger.com
