(San Francisco = Yonhap News) Correspondent Jeong Seong-ho = Pakistani-born female scientist Apia Sidiki (49), who demanded the release of a suspect in a hostage run at a synagogue (synagogue) in Texas, USA on the 15th (local time), is known as ‘Lady al-Qaeda’. is a character
Daily Washington Post (WP) reported on the 16th (local time) that Sidiki has been a person of great interest for a long time because of frequent requests for release from within the Islamic militant group.
He is known as ‘Lady al Qaeda’ as a mysterious figure who threw away the easy life of a successful scientist and chose the path of terrorism.
He is said to have been nicknamed ‘Lady al-Qaeda’ by defending al-Qaeda, claiming that the 9/11 terrorist attacks carried out by al-Qaeda, a representative Islamic terrorist group, on the United States in 2001 were self-made by Israeli conspiracy.
Sidiki received a Biology degree from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and a PhD in Neuroscience from Brandeis University.
He was married and had three children, living in the Boston area. However, after the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, she separated from her husband and returned to Pakistan with her children.
According to a psychoanalytic report released during the 2010 trial, it was feared that if they stayed in the United States they would force their children to be converted to Christianity.
The report assessed that Sidiki’s thoughts were full of many conspiracy theories, as well as delusional beliefs.
Sidiki was arrested and questioned by Afghan police in 2008 for possessing handwritten notes of potential targets of an attack aimed at inflicting mass casualties at several points in New York.

When FBI agents and soldiers tried to interrogate her, Siddikey grabbed a soldier’s rifle and fired it. Fortunately, no one was shot.
Siddy Key was sentenced to 86 years in prison in 2010 on charges of attempted murder against US government officials and assaults against US police and officials, and has since served time in a prison in Fort Worth, Texas.
Fort Worth is near Colleyville, where the hostage took place.
The judge applied the aggravated punishment for terrorism, saying that Sidiki’s comments such as “I hate Americans” and “death to America” at the time of sentencing prove his intention to retaliate against the US government.
In response, Sidiki protested that he did not suffer from a mental illness such as paranoia, and claimed that Israel was behind the 9/11 terrorist attacks.
During the 2013 hostage run at a natural gas plant in Algeria, where 23 people were killed, Islamic militants demanded the release of Sidiqi and Sheikh Omar Abdul Rahman, who was involved in the 1993 World Trade Center (WTC) bombing conspiracy.
“[Siddiki]is a very unique person,” said Boaz Gano, director of the International Center for Counterterrorism (ICT), a non-profit think tank in Israel.
