The twelve year son of Dr Aafia Siddiqui has returned to Pakistan. Dr Aafia was accused of maintaining close links with Al Qaeda elements. She was abducted from Karachi with her three children 2003 and her whereabouts were not known since then. The US authorities disclosed her presence only after international press reported about a mysterious woman prisoner at Bagram airbase a few months back.

The custody of the boy has been handed over to her aunt Dr Fauzia who lives in Islamabad. The whereabouts of the remaining two children of Dr Aafia are still not known. Even if Dr Aafia has anything to do with Al Qaeda, what was the fault of her minor children?
