Siddiqui was charged with shooting at U.S. soldiers and FBI agents after her capture in Afghanistan last summer.
The government said at a hearing earlier this month that she is faking mental illness to avoid trial. Her lawyer, Dawn Cardi, did not immediately respond to a message for comment, but has said she is unfit for trial.
Siddiqui studied at MIT and Brandeis University before she fled to her native Pakistan in 2003.
