Tear gas is fired by police at activists of the Pakistani religious political party Jamaat-e-Islami as they march towards the U.S. consulate during a protest rally in Karachi September 24, 2010, to condemn the verdict against scientist Aafia Siddiqui. Pakistan vowed on Friday to repatriate Siddiqui who was sentenced to an effective life term in the United States as hundreds of people protested against the ruling, denouncing their government and its ally Washington. Many in Pakistan, a key U.S. ally in the war against militants and where anti-U.S. sentiment also run high, believe Aafia Siddiqui, a 38-year-old neuroscientist, is innocent.
