Dr. Amjad Mohammed Khan (born March 4, 1970), a former anesthesiologist at Brigham and Women's Hospital, was sought for questioning by the Federal Bureau of Investigation. The former husband of Afia Siddiqui, Khan was the scion of a wealthy family, and the FBI has suggested "he might have been" involved in Majid Khan's alleged plot to destroy gas stations in Baltimore, Maryland.
After he was located and questioned, he was released and removed from the FBI's wanted list.
Khan's father, Agha Abdul Khan, owned a pharmaceutical firm. Khan graduated from the medical school at Aga Khan University in Karachi in 1995.
When Aafia Siddiqui met his mother in Pakistan, his parents agreed on an arranged marriage for him and met with Siddiqui's parents to discuss the details. It was decided that since Siddiqui had been accepted into Brandeis University in Boston, Khan could move to Lexington, Massachusetts, with her and begin studies at Harvard University. Since Siddiqui was back in the United States, the couple, who had never seen each other, performed their nikah over the telephone in 1995. He has also said that Siddiqui wanted him to move to Afghanistan, and work as a medic for the mujahideen. They have three children: Ahmed (b. 1996), Maryam (b. 1998), and Suleman (b. 2002). The two older children are American citizens.
After approximately a year in Lexington, the couple moved to Back Bay Manor, in Mission Hill to be closer to Khan's hospital. In 1999, while living in Boston, Siddiqui and her husband founded the nonprofit Institute of Islamic Research and Teaching. They moved again in July 2001, this time to Malden. Their lease was taken over by Saudi nationals Abdullah Al Reshood and Hatem Al Dhahri, who had just received a $20,000 transfer from the Saudi government, ostensibly to pay for medical treatment for al-Reshood's wife.
