Talk:Aafia Siddiqui

Extended-confirmed-protected edit request "Only women on FBI - Seeking info - Terrorism list"
This is no longer true, as Sarah Jamal Muhammad Al-Sayyid was added to the list in late 2023: https://www.fbi.gov/wanted/terrorinfo/sarah-jamal-muhammad-al-sayyid

Please change "Khalid Sheikh Mohammad named her a courier and financier for al-Qaeda, and she was placed on the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigations's Seeking Information – Terrorism list; she remains the only woman to have been featured on the list."

to "Khalid Sheikh Mohammad named her a courier and financier for al-Qaeda, and she was placed on the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigations's Seeking Information – Terrorism list; she was the first woman to have been featured on the list." Estreyeria (talk) 18:05, 2 February 2024 (UTC)

Reason for Changes: The Original sentences don't really make it obvious to the reader that Azzam was a foreign fighter which ideologically explains alot of Siddiqui's activities.

She began translating biographies of Palestinian jihadist Abdullah Yusuf Azzam who was one of the most prominent Arab foreign fighter during the Soviet-Afghan war later being known as the "father of global jihad".(ref: http://www.brookings.edu/research/opinions/2011/09/11-riedel and https://web.archive.org/web/20160521092655/https://books.google.com/books?id=Uw1WGl0iHa0C&pg=PA33)and became more strict in her religion, wearing a niqāb—a black veil that covered everything but her eyes[55]—and avoiding any music—even background music at science exhibits.[54] (Use original sources) AwesomeCantaloupe (talk) 03:24, 16 February 2024 (UTC)

Change the first clause here: "According to the Arab News Pakistan's President, Asif Ali Zardari, had personally requested Afghanistan's President Hamid Karzai return Dr. Aafia's children, including Ahmed (born 1996), to their family in Pakistan."

it should be changed to:

"According to Arab News, Pakistan's President Asif Ali Zardari, had personally requested Afghanistan's President Hamid Karzai return Dr. Aafia's children, including Ahmed (born 1996), to their family in Pakistan."

So, the removal of the extra "the", and moving the comma to the correct place.
