N.Y. Jury Finds Scientist Guilty of Trying to Kill Americans in Afghanistan

U.S.-educated Pakistani neuroscientist Aafia Siddiqui faces the possibility of life in prison after being convicted by a New York jury Wednesday of trying to kill FBI agents and U.S. military personnel while she was detained in a police compound in Afghanistan in 2008. The trial was peppered with outbursts from Siddiqui, who was removed from the courtroom several times. In addition, the federal judge excused two jurors who became fearful after being menaced by a member of the audience.
