Pakistan demands return of Aafia's children

Meanwhile, the U.S. press is continuing to pile up stories of Ms. Siddqui's involvement with al-Qaeda network and depicting  her as a significant catch and a "treasure trove" of information on terrorist supporters, sympathizers or 'sleepers' in the United States and overseas.

Her friends and family say the young woman, a mother of three, is innocent and being persecuted by the US .

An report broadcast by ABC network said there is some dissent in the intelligence community on Ms. Siddique's potential value and some have characterized her as mentally unbalanced and operationally insignificant.

"But in an intelligence and law enforcement community that has exhausted the useful information from high value prisoners it has had in custody for as long as six years and has watched the stream of new intelligence go from a torrent to a trickle, she is seen by many as having at least the potential of holding valuable current intelligence about members and associates of Al Qaeda both overseas and in the United States," the report said.
