jul 18, 2008 - INTERROGATION & SHOOTING
Description:
An American counterterrorism team (10-12 men) went to Ghazni to investigate and see Dr. Aafia. They entered the small room where she was being held, which was partitioned by a curtain and had only one door. Dr. Siddiqui was sitting or standing behind the curtain. An Afghan, who wishes to remain anonymous, says that one of the Americans went up to her immediately, and that shots were fired a few seconds later. She passed out and barely survived at a Bagram hospital.Another version of the story is that when she was held in a 300 sq ft room, she allegedly tried to pick up the M4 rifle that an American soldier put down on the ground. Then she tried to shoot at them. but she didn't hit or injure anybody. Then they shot back and hit her twice in the stomach and she almost died.
