The hearing of Pakistani neuroscientist detained in US Dr. Aafia Siddiqui took a new turn when there existed contradictions in the testimonies of two witnesses.
Afghan interpreter – a witness in the case – testified in contradiction with US army captain – the other witness in the case, saying Dr. Aafia Siddiqui opened fire while she was standing while the FBI agent said there were no fingerprints of Dr. Aafia on gun which allegedly used to shoot US troops in US.
A total of four witnesses questioned on the second day of hearing. During the hearing on yesterday, the US army Captain Robert Snyder testified before court that Aafia Siddique was sitting on her knee and the gun she was holding was aiming at him (Captain Snyder) while she opened fire.
But today, the other witness, the Afghan interpreter Ahmed Gul, testified that Aafia Siddique was standing while shooting but she took aim at another army official instead of Captain Snyder.
Ahmed Gul also revealed that those officials who called him in US to testify against Dr. Aafia provided him permanent residence here and now he has also obtained Green Card.
An FBI agent testified before court that the documents FBI was handed possessed fingerprints of Dr. Aafia but there were no marks of finger on gun.
