Pak Taliban Kidnap two Swiss Tourists as Ransom for Aafia Siddiqui

For the past four weeks two Swiss citizens, David O. and Daniela W., both active police personnel, on a private trip across Pakistan have found themselves in the limelight of the continuous feud involving Pakistan and the US. For reasons best known to them, they were traversing Buy cialis online the North-West frontier Province (NWFP) in a VW van. Though a part of their route had a security detail accompanying them, they were apparently kidnapped by the Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) and taken to North Waziristan.

Surely the real point about Aafia Siddiqui is being missed?

by Asim Qureshi

Since the release of The Guantanamo Files in April 2011 by Wikileaks, there have been a number of stories written in relation to those detained at the infamous base. One of the stories that received some mainstream coverage though, was that of Aafia Siddiqui. However, the coverage that was received, completely missed the point.

During Aafia’s years of disappearance, a number of allegations were made against her by the US, allegations that were circled within the mainstream on a consistent basis. Among the more ridiculous statements that were made included references to her purportedly having run conflict diamonds out of Liberia in the summer of 2001 in order to fund Al Qaeda operations. The sad fact remains, that very few have considered the ludicrous allegations that have been levelled against her.

The most important point to note, however, is that the US refused to prosecute Aafia on any terrorism related offences as part of their case. They started the case making that point, and references to terrorism did not enter until the judge chose to enhance her sentence claiming that he felt she had links.
