Looks like Afghanistan has been holding her kids. The article says that Afghanistan is believed to still be holding on to her daughter.
I personally am worried about any little girl in custody of the Afghans… we know what they are like.
BBC NEWS | South Asia | Detainee’s son handed to Pakistan
Afghan officials have handed over to Pakistan the son of a US-trained Pakistani academic with alleged links to al-Qaeda.
Twelve-year old Mohammed Ahmed, son of Dr Aafia Siddiqui, has been handed over to the Pakistani embassy in Kabul.
Dr Siddiqui, 36, is currently facing trial charged with attempting to kill American soldiers in Afghanistan.
But her lawyers and human rights groups say she has spent the last five years in secret US jails.
“I can confirm that Ahmed is now in our custody”, Naeem Khan, a Pakistani official, told the BBC.
It was not immediately clear if the boy - who was named in documentation in Afghanistan as Ali Hassan - would be returned to his family in Pakistan.
Afghan officials produced Dr Siddiqui and her son at a press conference in Ghazni province in July.
They say the duo were arrested after being seen “loitering suspiciously” near the local US consulate.

Her son’s name was Mohammed Ahmed then howcome in Afghan’s documentation he is shown to be Ali Hassan?
Also according to this article they were found loitering outside US consulate while in previous article she was found loitering outside governor’s house… or are they close to each other?
