A federal grand jury has indicted an American-educated Pakistani woman whose arrest in Afghanistan has stoked controversy. Aafia Siddiqui is accused of trying to open fire on several FBI agents who had come to question her in Afghanistan. The FBI also says she had documents on making chemical bombs and a list of potential targets in the United States. But Afghan police have given a radically different account. They say US personnel shot Siddiqui following a misunderstanding that saw her initially asking them for help. Siddiqui’s family has accused the US of raping and assaulting her during her imprisonment at Bagram Air Base in Afghanistan.
