Courtroom Cirque du Jihad
by Michelle Malkin
Imagine this nightmare courtroom scenario: Unhinged Jew-bashing,
open mockery of American soldiers, juror intimidation and coldly
calculated exploitation of U.S. constitutional protections by a
suspected al-Qaida defendant. Well, there’s no need to wait for the
Gitmo terror trial circuses. New York City is already getting a glimpse
of the future.
Jihadi scientist Aafia Siddiqui is on trial right now in a
federal Manhattan court for the attempted murder and assault of U.S.
military personnel in Afghanistan’s Ghazni province two years ago.
She’s an accomplished Karachi-born scientist who studied microbiology
at MIT and did graduate work in neurology at Brandeis University before
disappearing in the wake of the 9/11 attacks.
Counterterrorism investigators connected Siddiqui and her
estranged husband, anesthesiologist Dr. Mohammed Amjad Khan, to Saudi
terror funders. The couple’s bank account showed repeated purchases of
high-tech military equipment and apparel, including body armor,
night-vision goggles and military manuals. Her second husband, fellow
al-Qaida suspect and 9/11 plot helper Ammar al-Baluchi, is one of five
Gitmo detainees the Obama administration is planning to transfer to New
York for trial.
