Sighting Of Top Terrorist Raises No FBI Interest

Topics: War on Terror

Have you seen this man? Two Americans believe they have spotted Adnan el-Shukrijumah, the al-Qaida operative identified at "the next Mohamed Atta" at a location near Bakersfield, Calif., but have been unable to get the FBI or Homeland Security to investigate. The Rewards For Justice Program, United States Department of State, is offering a reward of up to $5 million for information leading directly to the capture of Adnan G. El Shukrijumah

[El Shukrijumah SHOULD BE CONSIDERED ARMED AND DANGEROUS. IF YOU HAVE ANY INFORMATION CONCERNING THIS PERSON, PLEASE CONTACT YOUR LOCAL FBI OFFICE OR THE NEAREST AMERICAN EMBASSY OR CONSULATE.]

An official report of the sighting of this terrorist, or his "dead-ringer", has been filed with an anti-terrorism unit in Kern County - and so far, the FBI and Homeland Security appear to be AWOL!

The local enforcement officers, including the county sheriff, reportedly neglected to conduct an investigation, despite the $5 million bounty on Shukrijumah's head.

Several federal officials, including U.S. Sen. Arlen Specter, R-Pa., when notified of the incident, opted to turn a blind eye to the situation, even though they were aware that the suspect in question has been described as the most dangerous al-Qaida agent on American soil.

The eyewitnesses, a husband and wife who wish to remain anonymous for security reasons, say they encountered el-Shukrijumah and other potential al-Qaida operatives, including Aafia Siddiqui, in a small café near Lake Isabella Sept. 7, 2005. They described him as small (approximately 5'4"), thin (about 130 pounds), and clean-shaven with a prominent nose, dark eyes and black hair. They noted that he appeared nervous and spoke English to his Middle Eastern companions without an accent.

They were able to identify the individual as Adnan el-Shukrijumah from a mug-shot that appeared on the front pages of newspapers throughout the country when he became the subject of a BOLO (Be-on-the-lookout) report that was issued jointly by FBI Director Robert Mueller and former Attorney General John Ashcroft at a national press conference March 21, 2004.

The couple became more convinced that the figure in question was the elusive terrorist after reading "The Al Qaeda Connection" by Paul L. Williams, a WND contributor and former FBI consultant.

Several weeks later, they spotted the suspects near the same location and managed to jot down their license numbers.

In compliance with the BOLO report, they made their way to the office of Sheriff Mack Wimbish in Kern County, where they say they filed an official report and were told the anti-terrorism unit would contact them in the immediate future.

Read the rest...

Apparently El-Shukijumah and the others mentioned in the BOLO remain at large. And, as of today, the witnesses to the sighting have yet to be contacted by the FBI or any law enforcement official. Bloggers and their readers might consider passing this around the Internet in a deluge of activity that makes this guys face so well known that he can't go anywhere without being recognized.

Homeland Security can be contacted here. Readers might also consider contacting a blogger to pass the word around the blogosphere.
