War on Terror
Let this Mom go or Make your Fiction more Imaginative!
An EDITORIAL in Khaleej Times Online
Let this mom go!
7 August 2008

And subsequently, we are told, Siddiqui attacked a team of US soldiers and FBI officials with a rifle conveniently placed next to her at the Afghan police station where she was being held. As cock-and-bull stories go, this must take the cake! The Afghan and US officials peddling this incredible yarn could have at least employed more imagination and ingenuity. How do they expect the world, and people of Pakistan, to buy this bunkum? If Dr Siddiqui is indeed an Al Qaeda terrorist and has links to the top leadership of the outfit, why hadn’t she been presented before a court of law all this while? And where had she been all these years while her family had been desperately looking for her, constantly pleading with the Pakistani authorities?

And how did she turn up in distant Ghazni in Afghanistan while she was supposed to be visiting her parents in Karachi? Also, where are her three young children? Have they joined Al Qaeda ranks too? We wouldn’t be surprised if they have been consigned to the big hellhole called the Guantanamo Bay, that is, if they are alive which hardly looks likely now. Or who knows, they might even turn up in the same mysterious fashion as their distraught mom did planning a suicide mission somewhere in Afghanistan.
