Jammie Wearing Fool and Michelle Malkin both have details, but besides that, what the heck is up with those Siddiquis? There’s this and THIS — possible tie-ins? Siddiqui is a common name is Pakistan, however this should be looked into for connections. The original stories in the Pakistan paper on the woman who died at the minister’s house stated that she was “tortured to death.”
Found this in the Daily Times Pakistan regarding Zeeshan Siddiqui, who Michelle is Curious about:
Pakistani authorities have deported a Briton held since May after he was cleared of links to terrorism and charges of fraud, fining him Rs 500 for overstaying his visa, his lawyer said on Tuesday.
Zeeshan Siddiqui, a 25-year-old Briton of Pakistani descent, was arrested in the northwestern town of Peshawar on May 15 after going to the police to report the loss of his passport. According to his lawyer, Siddiqui was interrogated about links to Al Qaeda and so badly beaten in custody that he lost the sight of one eye and the partial sight of the other.
The lawyer, Musarrat Hilali, said that after police failed to link Siddiqui to militants, they charged him with having a false identity card but a court found him not guilty. “We got his deportation order from the court on Saturday and he was freed from jail on Sunday,” Hilali said. “He left for London via Qatar the same night,” she said. According to Hilali, Siddiqui apparently fell under suspicion initially because he had been in Peshawar with a group of Islamic preachers who travel from town to town teaching Islam.
More from the March 5th UK Sun:
A FANATICAL Muslim who ranted against Britain has moved back here from Pakistan — to live on benefits. Hate-filled Zeeshan Siddiqui, 26, who once called London an “organ of the devil”, is enjoying life in a suburb of the capital.The Sun tracked down Siddiqui to a quiet, tree-lined road in Heston, West London, following his release from custody by Pakistani police who were probing suspected terror links.
In the past he has said he wants to be an Islamic martyr, called for all non-Muslims to be killed and declared his contempt for the UK. Yet he is happy to sponge off our taxpayers to the tune of £52.60 a week in Jobseekers Allowance.
Siddiqui slipped back into Britain in January after eight months in prison in Peshawar.
He was suspected of having links to the 7/7 London bombers and at school was friends with Britain’s first suicide bomber Asif Hanif, who died in Israel in 2003.
Pakistani cops caught him with phone numbers of al-Qaeda terrorists, an electrical circuit which could have been used to detonate a bomb and a venomous diary spelling out his desire for a jihad, or holy war.
Cops believed he was waiting to be dispatched as a suicide bomber but the case against him collapsed when several witnesses failed to come forward.
The Sun has learned that before heading off to Pakistan to study, Siddiqui once worked for Transport for London – which could have given him vital information on road and rail networks.
Last week he surfaced on BBC Radio 4 to whinge about his treatment at the hands of the Pakistani authorities and claim he was tortured.
When The Sun tried repeatedly to speak to Siddiqui, he came to the door but would not comment on his case.
