"Jury selection in the "Lady Al Qaeda" trial got off to a bizarre start Wednesday with the accused terrorist telling jurors she was "boycotting" - and demanding Jews be excluded from the panel.'If they have a Zionist or Israeli background...they are all mad at me,' said Aafia Siddiqui, a U.S.-trained neuroscientist charged with attempted murder. 'I have a feeling everyone here is them - subject to genetic testing....They should be excluded if you want to be fair,' she told Manhattan Federal Judge Richard Berman.She's a terrorist, and she dares to talk in our courtroom about injustice?? Too bad they can't move the trial to the Holocaust Museum instead!
Prospective jurors weren't present for that outburst, but they were in the courtroom to hear her say, 'I'm boycotting the trial...there are too many injustices.'' At another point, Siddiqui repeatedly refused to talk to her own lawyers, saying she didn't trust them.
'I don't trust you either,' she told Berman."
