Zardari urges Holbrooke to repatriate Dr Aafia Siddiqui
[Dawn] President Asif Ali Zardari requested the US government on Thursday to repatriate Dr Aafia Siddiqui to Pakistan.They sure do miss having Madame Qaeda around... During his meeting with US Special Envoy to Afghanistan and Pakistan, Richard Holbrooke, President Zardari requested that Aafia Siddiqui, currently convicted for attacking US soldiers, be repatriated to Pakistan under the Prisoner Exchange Agreement with the US. Just tell the Americans that she has terminal prostate cancer and only has three months to live. We're suckers for that sort of thing ... I think that's the British... We didn't complain ... Zardari said that Pakistan aims to provide legal assistance to Siddiqui and that she has full support of the people and government of Pakistan. Good. They can all come visit her at Florence. And, no hurry. She'll be there for awhile. Posted by: Fred 2010-02-19 |
