  Aafia Siddiqui, whom the FBI had sought for several years for terrorism, faces federal charges of attempted murder and assault of a U.S. officer and U.S. employees, federal authorities said.
  
  The 36-year-old American-educated neuroscientist is a suspected member of al Qaeda.If convicted, she faces a maximum of 20 years in prison on each charge.On July 18 Siddiqui shot at two FBI special agents, a U.S. Army warrant officer, an Army captain and military interpreters who unknowingly entered a room where she was being held unsecured at an Afghan facility, officials said.
  
  Siddiqui was behind a curtain when she used an officer's rifle to shoot at the group, officials said.She shot twice but hit no one, they said.The warrant officer returned fire with a pistol, shooting Siddiqui at least once.She struggled with the officers before she lost consciousness and was then given medical attention.The day before the shootings, Afghan police arrested Siddiqui outside the Ghazni governor's compound where they found bomb-making instructions, excerpts from the "Anarchist's Arsenal," papers with descriptions of U.S. landmarks, and substances sealed in bottles and glass jars, U.S. officials said Monday.
