A Pakistani woman, alleged by US authorities to have links to al-Qaeda, is set to stand trial in New York on attempted murder charges. Aafia Siddiqui, 37, is charged with shooting at FBI agents while being detained in Afghanistan in 2008. <br/><br/>Prosecutors say Ms Siddiqui picked up a rifle while she was waiting to be questioned in a police compound in Ghazni and fired towards US agents. <br/><br/>Ms Siddiqui, who was shot during the incident, insists she is innocent. Her lawyers dispute the prosecution's version of events and say she never touched a gun. <br/><br/>In 2004 the US named her one of its most-wanted al-Qaeda fugitives, but she has never been charged for any specific terror plots. <br/><br/>In 2008, she was initially detained in Afghanistan after being discovered with notes referring to what authorities say was a mass casualty attack.
