Aafia Siddiqui (main and inset in FBI Most Wanted poster) - knows as 'Lady al-Qaeda' - is currently serving 86 years in a Texas jail.
The neuroscientist and 'jihadist's icon' was named by Foley's captors on a 'laundry list' of demands as one of a handful of people they wanted in a prisoner swap. But President Barack Obama's administration point blank refused to consider releasing Siddiqui, or handing over a $132 million ransom that was demanded for Foley's release. When she was arrested in Ghazni in 2008, Afghanistan she had detailed plans on how to kill by spreading Ebola, making a dirty bomb and even a chemical weapon that somehow spared children while killing adults, her New York trial heard. She also had two pounds of highly toxic sodium cyanide hidden in her bag and documents detailing potential New York targets for attack including Wall Street, the Empire State Building, the Brooklyn Bridge, the Statue of Liberty and the subway system.
