 Research Aafia Siddiqui, her background, her arrest, and her prosecution. In your research for outside sources pay attention to the materials in addition to maps, etc., found on her person during her arrest in Afghanistan. Focus on whether she is a terrorist or not, separate from the outcome of her trial. (A simple Google is enough, but do not rely on Wikipedia as a source.) Following the definitions given in the text given by Boaz Ganor and Walter Laqueur, is she a terrorist? Why or why not? Why would ISIL want to trade her for captives that they held?
