Aafia Siddiqui, the long-accused al-Qaeda operative who after being captured was accused of trying to kill American officers in Afghanistan, has been convicted in a New York court.
Two funny things about this story: one, after all the KSM fake outrage, this terrorist was tried in a New York court without any controversy or hubbub whatsoever. And two, Siddiqui is an alum of... Brandeis, where she got a Ph.D. in neuroscience. Here's the kicker:
As the jurors began leaving the courtroom, Ms. Siddiqui, her face mostly covered in a cream-colored scarf, turned in her chair to face them. Holding her right index finger in the air, she said: “This is a verdict coming from Israel and not from America. That’s where the anger belongs.”Yes, of all the places to go to grad school, this woman chose the Non-Sectarian Jewish-Sponsored University.
