The erratic terror suspect dubbed "Lady Al Qaeda" was tossed from her own trial Tuesday after a courtroom rant declaring she never plotted to blow up New York landmarks.
Aafia Siddiqui's diatribe came as a U.S. Army captain described the savage look on her face when she opened fire on a roomful of military personnel in Afghanistan.
"She was very determined, very agitated," Capt. Robert Snyder testified. "It was clear in my mind what her intent was. A vision of hatred ... shooting at us. Shooting at me."
Siddiqui, 37, interrupted Snyder to declare her innocence "since I'll never get a chance to speak."
Although she was arrested carrying a list of potential terror targets including the Statue of Liberty and the Empire State Building, Siddiqui insisted she was not planning any attacks.
"Give me a little credit, this is not a list of targets of New York," she said. "I was never planning to bomb it. You're lying."
The outburst, in front of a Manhattan Federal Court jury, led Judge Richard Berman to order Siddiqui's removal by court officers about 11:15 a.m.
Where's "Side Show" Eric Holder? He needs to emcee the NY Courtroom he's turned into a big top.
