Prosecutors in the case against Dr Aafia Siddiqui, a US-trained scientist accused of being an Al Qaeda operative, on Sunday cited reports by psychologists who say that Aafia Siddique is fit for trial.

Prosecutors cite reports by psychologists, one of whom was Sally C Johnson, a professor in the psychiatry department at the University of North Carolina, who said Aafia's behaviour reflected malingering, the intentional production of grossly exaggerated psychological symptoms aimed at getting a result, such as avoiding a trial.
