From the front page of the Boston Globe:

WASHINGTON – She was a tiny woman with big convictions.
While her fellow students at MIT read newspaper articles about the massacre of Muslims in Bosnia in the 1990s, Aafia Siddiqui sprang to action, giving slide shows and rousing speeches to collect donations for their cause. While other women from traditional Pakistani families stayed home after marriage, Siddiqui juggled the demands of motherhood, a doctoral dissertation at Brandeis, and a Roxbury-based nonprofit organization she established to spread Islamic teachings. But yesterday, federal prosecutors in New York alleged that Siddiqui’s activism had become extremism. US officials say that the 36-year-old mother of three became an Al Qaeda operative who ended up in Afghanistan and attacked US soldiers who had come to interrogate her.
