There's word an American-educated Pakistani woman believed to have ties to al-Qaeda was carrying a list of New York City landmarks when she was captured in Afghanistan last month.
According to published reports, potential targets on the list included the Statue of Liberty, Times Square, and the subway system.
Investigators say scientist Aafia Siddiqui was also found with detailed information on chemical weapons.
Siddiqui was shot after officials say she grabbed a soldier's rifle during an interrogation. Her appearance in Manhattan Federal Court on Monday was delayed so she could receive medical treatment.
The 36-year-old mother of three graduated from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology with a biology degree and then from Brandeis University with a doctorate.
Her lawyer claims that she was framed.
Meanwhile, the federal government is laying out thousands of dollars to figure out if Lady Liberty's crown is safe for the public to visit.
New York Congressman Anthony Weiner said today that the National Parks Service has commissioned a Baltimore contractor to do a $150,000 safety study.
The entire site was shut down after the attacks of September 11th; the statue's pedestal was re-opened fours ago.
