Terror Trial Suspect: Keep Jews Off The Jury

nyc-buildingA woman accused of trying to kill American soldiers and FBI agents in Afghanistan begged a Manhattan federal judge to give jurors genetic tests to make sure they aren’t Jews. “If they have a Zionist or Israeli background…they are all mad at me,” said Aafia Siddiqui. “I have a feeling everyone here is them – subject to genetic testing….They should be excluded if you want to be fair.”

Siddiqui – a Brandeis and MIT-educated Pakistani – allegedly picked up an M-4 Army rifle and fired two shots at Americans who tried to question her in Afghanistan in July 2008. According to the Daily News, she shouted “Allah Akbar” and vowed to kill Americans before she was detained. Investigators reportedly found two pounds of poisonous sodium cyanide, notes and documents on how to build chemical and biological weapons, and lists of potential terror targets including the Statue of Liberty, Wall Street, the Empire State Building, and the Brooklyn Bridge.

Siddiqui allegedly stated she was “boycotting the trial” because “there are too many injustices.” She also repeatedly refused to speak to her own lawyers and told Judge Richard Berman: “I don’t trust you either.” After she threw a handwritten note to prosecutors begging for time each day to pray, the judge ruled she could leave the courtroom at 3:30 pm for 15 minutes of prayer. He also ruled that jurors will not see evidence regarding the chemicals or the “mass-produced documents from ‘how-to’ terror manuals,” and tossed evidence about her alleged Al Qaeda connections because it might cause bias. Siddiqui could still turn out having a courthouse reunion with her ex-husband and ex-uncle-in-law, terror suspects Ali Abd al-Aziz Ali and Khalid Shaikh Mohammed.

  1. Well, she’s got a point. I would have a tough time staying objective. Kol Yisroel areivim zeh l’zeh. Considering the number of Yidden who have been killed in terror attacks (including the cousin of a co-worker of mine when I lived in E”Y) there probably would be bias – at least unconsciously.

    Let her have a fair trial so she can’t appeal and will get the jail term she deserves if she’s found guilty.

  2. The text talks about Tzionis and Israelis, where does it say she begged to keep Jews off the jury? Sounds like somebody who knows which end is up, if you ask me.
