He charged that the government did not play its due role for recovering of the children and it did not give a chance to journalists to ask questions of them.

However, the fact is that the children have been recovered due to efforts of Dr Fauzia and Human Rights Network, he claimed.—Agency

The child was left at Dr Aafia Siddiqui’s house by an American the child referred to as ‘Uncle John’ and who has since disappeared into thin air.

I have long held that Dr Siddiqui’s case was/is a very curious one indeed. Let us recap from the time that she disappeared from Karachi in the company of her three children in March 2003 until the time (July 17, 2008) that she was found loitering outside the Ghazni governor’s compound in Afghanistan in the company of a young lad said to be her son and both were taken into custody by the Afghan police.

She was alleged to be carrying inflammable materials and maps of potential targets in the United States “in jars” in her handbag. How big these ‘jars’ were, and how many kilogrammes of explosives were being transported in them was not mentioned to astounded readers.

We were not told either what in the world Dr Siddiqui was doing in Ghazni, Afghanistan, right outside the governor’s compound and under the very noses of American and Afghan forces and police. I wrote at the time that mayhap she had gone to Ghazni to catch the United Airlines early evening flight to JFK.

We were also informed that the next day, Dr Siddiqui had been shot in the abdomen “at least once” by an American soldier in self-defence after coming under fire from Dr Siddiqui who had come rushing out from behind a curtain where she was being held “unrestrained” for questioning, and picking up an M4 service rifle that had been left “at his feet” by an American warrant officer, had fired at him. And that but for the timely deflection of her shot by an Afghan interpreter she should have killed the American.

Whilst her son was arrested with her in Ghazni we were also told in a letter penned to the press by the US ambassador to Pakistan H.E. Anne Patterson that the American authorities had absolutely no idea about what had happened to her three children who had disappeared with her in March 2003. And now this young child turns up at her grandparents home in Karachi in the company of ‘Uncle John’. Curiouser and curiouser.

This story was beyond belief then, it is beyond belief now. It defied credibility then, it defies credibility now. There are holes the size of the Titanic in this ‘official’ version of events and at the time that this seeming poppycock was being rolled out, I had written a riposte to the US ambassador’s letter on several aspects.

For example as someone who has handled small arms as a soldier in the infantry; has taught them, and therefore has fired thousands of rounds from all types of small arms, I couldn’t for the life of me imagine even a first-class shooter pick up a rifle he/she did not know, cock it, find the safety catch and flip it, and fire it in under the three seconds that it probably took the alleged Afghan translator to allegedly lunge at Siddiqui and allegedly deflect her alleged shot.

I also asked why Siddiqui had been shot at after she had been overpowered by the Afghan translator and had probably been well and truly subdued, for she is no Samson.

To prove the point that it was highly unlikely for this frail woman to do what she was alleged to have done, I suggested to the ambassador who seems to have the same dimensions as Dr Siddiqui to get one of her Marines at the embassy to place a loaded M4 service rifle (on ‘safe’ as is the standard operating procedure) on the ground near her. She should then pick it up, cock it, flip the safety catch and fire it. I had suggested that she may well fail to even cock the seven-pound heavy rifle in 10 seconds, let alone fire it in three.

I had reminded the ambassador of the embarrassment, nay disgrace, his handlers brought her former boss, the good Gen Colin Powell, when they made him tell white lies on live TV about Iraq’s so-called weapons of mass destruction.

I had said that whilst America had its Sarah ‘Barracuda’ Palins also, who can shoot and skin (and eat?) a moose in under 17 minutes, what we Pakistanis must do is to pray with all our might that Barack Obama and Joe Biden beat the living daylights out of McCain and the Barracuda. And that we are rid of the neocon madmen and women who not only hold America the Beautiful by the jugular, but the rest of the world by the throat too.

Well, friends, we are rid of the mindless ‘Dubya’ and his keepers; the intelligent and compassionate Barack Obama is now the president of the mightiest country on the face of the planet. Now then Excellency, who is this Maryam girl; and who is her Uncle John? And where is Dr Siddiqui’s third child please?

As I have said earlier, if some foolish official has messed up on the Afia Siddiqui case please do not exacerbate the matter by covering up for him/her and bringing America the Beautiful into more disrepute. Tell the whole truth even now; put the matter right even now. Dr Afia Siddiqui is accused of crimes ranging from buying blood diamonds to planning terrorist attacks to being the vilest person on earth. Yet, she was charged in court with what can only be called an impossible crime.

Please act now, if only for the reason that America is home to some of the kindest hearted and generous and warm and disarmingly simple people anywhere on this planet.

Addressing a press conference here on Saturday the Chairman said Dr Aafia’s trial in US was the violation of International law. Government is not taking seriously the repatriation of Dr Aafia, he added.

Senator Talha said that the DNA report and fingerprints have confirmed that the 12 years old girl was Dr Aafia’s daughter Maryum. She was recovered from a US national John from Bagram Airbase Afghanistan, he added.

He urged the government to link provision of logistic support to the US with the release of Dr Aafia Siddiqui. Senator Talha said Pakistan has sacrificed a lot in war against terror and provided logistic support to the US but in return it is holding trial of Pakistani citizens.

He warned if the US jury sentenced Dr Aafia on May 06, it would fumigate anti American sentiments among the masses. Interior Minister Rehman Malik was hiding the facts from the nation.

He further stated that the release of Dr Aafia’s daughter was not the outcome of any deal. He said media has played a pivotal role for highlighting Dr Aafia’s case at international level.

ISLAMABAD – Senator Talha Mahmood criticised the US authorities for keeping the minor daughter of Dr Aafia Siddiqui into illegal detention for more than seven years, who went missing in 2003, and termed it as a clear violation of the human rights.

“The only sin of Maryum was that she was Aafia’s daughter, an accused who was being tried by a US jury over allegations of attacking US marines”, he added. Senator Talha Mahmood, who is also the Chairman of the Senate Standing Committee on Interior disclosed, during a press conference that Maruym remained into the custody of US authorities for seven years at Bagram Airbase, Afghanistan.” She remained into the custody with Mr John, a US national, during this time period”, he added. He also astonished the media persons by disclosing that she was kept in a dark room for years. He along with Maryum and her cousin Aalia was talking to media persons at this residence.

He also criticised the US Government for violating international laws as well as human rights, saying that if Aafia did any crime in Afghanistan, then she should also be tried in the same country not in the US. He also urged the Government to cut the supply line of NATO, if US refused to repatriate Dr Aafia. “If US judiciary awarded any sentence to Aafia, which is scheduled to be announced on 6th of May, it would create a bad image of the US in the whole world and effect its efforts in the war against terrorism”, he maintained. He also said that the incumbent Government was least interested in the issue, adding that PM should keep the issue of Aafia’s release at the top of agenda during his meeting with US President Barak Obama scheduled to be held today.

Earlier, Interior Minister, Rehman Malik disclosed that 12-year-old teenager that found outside of the house of Dr Fauzia in Karachi was Maryum, the daughter of Dr Aafia Siddiqui, as the DNA samples of Maryum matched with Mohammad Ahmed, the elder son of Aafia. Dr Fauzia also confirmed the reports after meeting with the Interior Minister at the Ministry of Interior. She while talking to media appreciated the efforts of the Government in repatriation of Aafia as well as of his children, especially, of Interior Minister, Rehman Malik.

However, sources in the Interior Ministry claimed that recent visit of Afghan President, Hamid Karzai was a key factor in the return of Maryum, as the Afghan President during the visit had disclosed that Aafia’s children were in Afghanistan.

The Interior Minister after meeting with Aafia’s sister, Dr Fauzia Siddiqui, avoided the journalists and no press conference was held in this regard possibly to avoid some questions that might be raised by the civil society and human rights activists about the return of Maryum. The human rights activists are raising questions that how Maryum reached Karachi from Afghanistan and who left her outside Dr Fauzia’s house. They are also raising questions that if Afghan Government claimed that it knew the whereabouts of Aafia’s missing children, then why Afghan Government did not hand over Maryum through proper channel. However, another son of Aafia, Mohammad Suleman was still missing and the Government was still unable to trace his whereabouts.

It is pertinent to mention here that some unidentified persons had left a 12 year old girl out side Dr Fauzia’s house in Karachi. The girl introduced herself as Fatima and she could only speak English. Later, Fatima’s DNA test was done on the directives of the Interior Minister that matched with the elder son of Dr Aafia.

The stories of Siddiqui’s disappearance and  her recent trial in the US are too convoluted to easily summarize.  For purposes of the story now emerging — the possible appearance of Siddiqui’s daughter – the bare bones are that, after returning to Pakistan from the US, Aafia Siddiqui was named by Khalid Sheikh Mohammed in his US-run torture interrogations.  Shortly thereafter, in March, 2003, Siddiqui disappeared. Her three children –  oldest son Ahmed, 4-year-old Maryam and her infant son, Suleman — disappeared with her.

After seven years, Siddiqui suddenly reappeared in Afghanistan, where the US alleged she was involved in the attempted shooting of an American soldier as she was being detained for interrogation. When Aafia was  apprehended in Afghanistan, a boy was with her. The US handed off the boy to Afghan intelligence while they shipped Siddiqui to the US for trial.

Pakistan became involved diplomatically over the child and demanded his return. He was handed over to Siddiqui’s family in Pakistan, but her other children have remained missing. There has been controversy in Pakistan over the status of the boy and whether he truly was Siddiqui’s son or not.

Last weekend a girl approximately 12 years old, who spoke only English and Persian and claimed her name was  “Fatima,” was dropped off in front of the home of Siddiqui’s sister.  Some stories indicate an American named “John” may have been with her. Dawn reported a senior policeman described that the girl was:

… wearing a collar “bearing the address of the house in case she wandered off”.

That was last week.

This week, April 11 marks the start of a visit by Pakistan’s Prime Minister, Yousuf Raza Gilani, to the US.  He had been under pressure from the Pakistani press, Senate, courts and Siddiqui’s family (who have been highly critical of Gilani) to take up the case of Aafia Siddiqui in his meetings with the administration scheduled for this week. Today, as those meetings are about to begin, Pakistan’s Interior Minster, Rehman Malik  has confirmed that the young girl left in the street with a collar on her neck is Maryam.*

While this stands in contrast with earlier statements by Siddiqui’s sister that “the finger prints of teenage girl were not matched with the prints of her niece, Mar[y]am” the Interior Ministry’s statement is based upon DNA testing. Those results reveal that Siddiqui’s ex-husband, Amjad Khan, “cannot be excluded” as the father of the two children:

“The DNA profile obtained from blood samples of Maryam Khan alias Fatima, Ahmad Muhammad – her brother – share the STR Genetic Markers with the DNA profile obtained from blood sample of Dr Amjad Khan. Based on the DNA analysis, Dr Amjad cannot be excluded as the biological father of Maryam alias Fatima,” concludes the National Forensic Science Agency’s report, an exclusive copy of which is available with Daily Times. The laboratory is run by the Interior Ministry.

My online search for a US  source discussing the story originally came up with a reference in a WaPo story, buried at the end of the story on Pakistani forces battling Taliban. But the link for the cached reference (“Separately, Interior Minister Rehman Malik said a Pakistani girl left outside a house in Karachi on Sunday was the daughter of Aafia Siddiqui, a Pakistani…”) no longer includes that reference.

In any event, this story about the possible return of Maryam had been getting cautious play throughout the middle east when the girl appeared, last week. Now, with the Interior confirmation that the girl is Maryam, the story is been receiving much more play. Some headlines (and a Pakistan Senator) assert that the girl had been held the last seven years at Bagram.

The Pakistan Ledger (caveat:  not necessarily an unbiased or hard core news site) ran as it’s headline, “US Bagram Air Force base girl prisoner, 12 released” an also ran the information on the DNA report

According to reports, the girls’ DNA matched that of Ahmed, Dr Aafia’s son. The report has been handed over to the investigation police.

Several reports, including the Ledger,  are mentioning that the release of the young girl might be linked  to intervention by Afghan President and Obama ex-bff, Hamid Karzai.

Mr. Karzai had told the family that if no questions were asked, he would return the child to the family.

From another report,

Terming the visit of Afghan President, Hamid Karzai, a key factor in making the efforts of the government and the Interior Minister productive, (Siddiqui’s sister) said that the rehabilitation of Maryam would be started soon

And from the Indian Express, earlier, when the girl had been discovered but not DNA tested:

Claiming that Afghanistan President Hamid Karzai had indicated recently that Aafia’s daughter would return home, Fauzia (Siddiqui’s sister) said, “If this girl is my sister’s daughter then now this issue will be settled in Islamabad.”

Meanwhile, Press TV reports that a Pakistani Senator and chairman of the Pakistani Senate’s Standing Committee on Interior, Senator Talha Mehmood, “slammed the US for keeping the child in a military jail in a cold, dark room for seven years.”

Almost everything you hear about the targeted story (Maryam’s discovery) and the larger story (Siddiqui’s disappearance and subsequent US conviction) should, imo, but taken with a grain of salt.  But what we do have are some strongly competing narratives at work.

Karzai and the US administration have severe rifts. Pakistani Prime Minister Gilani is on his way to the US (and had apparently earlier refused to put any discussions of Siddiqui on his scheduled talks with the US ).  Karzai is reported as making some claims about the return of the girl. A girl appears and, as the Prime Minister is arriving in the US, Pakistan’s Interior Minister and a Pakistani Senator are holding press conferences, one confirming that the girl is Siddiqui’s long missing daughter and the other alleging she was held in a dark cell at Bagram by the US military.

Meanwhile, the Secretaries, Gates and Clinton, are out in force today, calling Karzai a “reliable partner.”

The cast of characters and plot lines in the Siddiqui mystery are complex — courts in Pakistan, the CIA,  competing political factions, KSM, large street rallies and protests, a Pakistani Prime Minister and Interior Minister, Afghan leader Karzai, the US Department of Justice, Charles Swift who handled the Hamdan case (and represented Siddiqui in her trial), courts in the US, missing bullets, missing children, competing fingerprint and DNA information, and more.

The only thing missing from this international tale of intrigue? Dedicated reporting by the US press.

ISLAMABAD: A DNA test has proved that Maryam Khan is the biological daughter of Dr Amjad Khan, Dr Aafia Siddiqui’s former husband, Interior Minister Rehman Malik said on Saturday.

Talking to reporters after meeting Dr Aafia’s sister Dr Fauzia, Malik said Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gilani – already on a US visit – will hold negotiations for Dr Aafia’s repatriation.

“The DNA profile obtained from blood samples of Maryam Khan alias Fatima, Ahmad Muhammad – her brother – share the STR Genetic Markers with the DNA profile obtained from blood sample of Dr Amjad Khan. Based on the DNA analysis, Dr Amjad cannot be excluded as the biological father of Maryam alias Fatima,” concludes the National Forensic Science Agency’s report, an exclusive copy of which is available with Daily Times. The laboratory is run by the Interior Ministry.

Ahmed, Dr Aafia’s 12-year-old son, was recovered in 2008 and now lives with his aunt, Dr Fauzia in Karachi.

Recovery: Meanwhile, Senate Standing Committee on Interior Chairman Talha Mehmood told a press conference that Maryam – left by unidentified men on the doorstep of her aunt’s house a few days back – was recovered from the Bagram airbase in Afghanistan.

Talha said Maryam was found with an American named John, adding the Pakistan government was not making enough efforts to secure Dr Aafia’s release.

He said if the US convicted the “innocent” Dr Aafia, it would distort its image among the community of nations. He said the standing committee would continue to struggle for her release, the same way it did for the recovery of her missing children. “The release of Dr Aafia is a one-point agenda of the entire nation, but the apologetic attitude of the rulers has encouraged foreign forces to bring disgrace to the Pakistani people,” the senator added.

He said Prime Minister Gilani should take up Dr Aafia’s issue when he meets the US president to secure her release and bring back to Pakistan.

ISLAMABAD,(SANA): Federal Interior Minister Rehman Malik said that the DNA test of the baby girl found from outside the house of Dr Fauzia proved that the girl was the daughter of Dr Aafia Siddiqui, detained in US.

Dr Aafia’s daughter Fatima was present at the occasion accompanied with her cousin Aalia and Dr Fauzia.

Senator Talha Mehmood said the girl was found from Bagram air base.

Daily Times, quoted the country’s Interior Minister, Rehman Malik, confirming the girl, Maryam Khan, as the daughter of Aafia Siddiqui.

A US citizen and MIT graduate, Aafia Siddiqui, disappeared on a trip to Pakistan. Six years later, it was known that she had been kept at the Bagram US Airbase, in Afghanistan.

Reports of rape and torture shows she has been kept under inhumane conditions at the base. She was later transferred to the US and was charged with attempted murder and links with al-Qaeda. She was given a sentence of 40 years.

This is despite of the fact that Aafia’s finger prints were not found on the weapon that she had supposedly used. She was convicted for firing at FBI agents and US military personnel in a police station in Afghanistan’s Ghazni.

Chairman of the Senate’s Standing Committee on Interior, Senator Talha Mehmood, slammed the US for keeping the child in a military jail in a cold, dark room for seven years.

He noted that the act is in violation of human rights, and threatened to stop cooperating with Washington in the region, should Afia Siddiqui not be returned to Islamabad.

Fauzia Siddiqui, Aafia’s sister, following a meeting with Pakistani interior minister, expressed hope that the country’s Premier Yousuf Raza Gilani would press for Aafi release in his trip to the US.

Aafia’s sentence to jail has triggered protests in Pakistan, as millions of her supporters asked for the immediate release and return of Aafia, calling it “a question of honor for Pakistan.”

Addressing a press conference at the Karachi Press Club, here on Saturday, HRN president Intikhab Alam Soori, and general secretary Shahzad Mazhar said that the return of Marium from illegal US detention has proven that America has double standards on human rights of women and children.

They said the abduction and illegal detention of Dr Aafia and her children shows how powerful the American agencies are and how little care they pay to the rights of women and children.

They appealed to Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani to put the issue of illegal detention of Dr Aafia Siddiqui on top of his priorities during his coming visit to the US and ensure early release and return of Dr Aafia.

They requested the Pakistani media to highlight the issue of Dr Aafia Siddiqui like it highlighted the issue of Shoaib Malik and Sania Mirza’s upcoming marriage.—RT

In a letter addressed to US President Barack Obama and released to the media, Lord Nazir Ahmed along with Lord Altaf Sheikh, Lord Patel and MP Muhammad Sarwar have stressed that Dr.Siddiqui’s cause has become a rallying point for the people of Pakistan .

“We must  stress that anti-American feeling her treatment is causing in an area key to success against extremist insurgency,” the Parliamentarians said.

The lawmakers hoped that President Obama, who values the admirable founding principles of his nation, will use his good offices to resolve the matter which is very dear to the people of Pakistan.

The British legislators also questioned fairness of her recent trial conducted under the supervision of Judge Richard Berman.

“We are informed that in this case there was an utter lack of concrete evidence tying Dr Siddiqui to the weapon  she allegedly fired at a US officer. Furthermore, there was no evidence of bullets or residue from a fired gun at the scene of the crime. All scientific and forensic evidence such as DNA testing and finger printing have exonerated Dr.Siddiqui and on the basis of this we find very difficult to identify how a guilty verdict was reached.”

They also strongly believed that a grave miscarriage of justice has occurred in Dr.Siddiqui’s case which contravenes both the US obligations as a UN member state and the family’s rights under the Sixth Amendment of the US constitution.

“We therefore as that her missing children be located post haste and that the family be returned to Pakistan as innocent victims of the war on terror.”
