NEW YORK -- A Pakistani woman trained as a scientist in the U.S. was convicted Wednesday of trying to kill U.S. Army soldiers and FBI agents at an Afghan police compound in July 2008. In their third day of deliberations, jurors convicted Aafia Siddiqui of two counts of attempted murder, armed assault of U.S. officers and employees, using a firearm during a crime of violence and three additional counts of assault. "This is a verdict coming from Israel, not America," Ms. Siddiqui said after the verdict was read and as the jury was exiting the room. "Your anger should be directed where it belongs. I can testify to this. I have proof." Ms. Siddiqui, who remains in custody, faces as much as 20 years in prison on the attempted murder charge and up to life in prison on the firearms charge.
