Aafia was rumored to be prisoner in Pakistan.

Very fishy. First reported arrested...then this story came out:

KARACHI, April 23, s003
: The mother of Aafia Siddiqui wanted for questioning about possible al-Qaida connections said today her daughter vanished early this month and that her daughter's estranged husband may be behind her disappearance.
Aafia Siddiqui, is wanted by the FBI for questioning about possible contacts with members of Osama Bin Laden 's terror network. The FBI also wants to question her husband, Dr. Amjad Mohammed Khan.
Ismat Siddiqui told The Associated Press that her daughter had been living with her until early April but has been out of touch since setting off to visit a friend and an uncle in Islamabad. "I am concerned for my daughter's safety," Ismat Siddiqui said in a tearful interview. "I don't know where she is."
She said she last saw her daughter as she got into a minicab along with her three children to go to Islamabad. She became concerned after "a stranger came to my house and threatened me." The man rode up on a motorcycle warned her "not to make a fuss" about the disappearance if she cared for her daughter's safety, she said. "Since then I am running from pillar to post to seek the safe recovery of my daughter," she said.
Pakistani government officials tried to calm her fears. They told her to be "patient and not rely on media reports" about her fate, she said. The authorities have denied having Siddiqui in custody.
Ismat Siddiqui said her daughter didn't have any connections with terrorists. "Rest assured, my daughter has nothing to do with al-Qaida or any other organization," she said. She didn't know who might be holding her daughter, but described Khan, the estranged husband, as a controlling and mysterious person who she said might have something to do with it.
Ismat Siddiqui said Khan had abused Aafia and that her daughter was seeking a divorce. Neither Khan nor any member of his family had been in touch since she vanished, she said. (AP/AFP)
