TUCSON -- An alert has been issued along the Mexico border for a suspected al-Qaida member who may be trying to cross the border through Arizona or Texas.

FBI Adnan G. El Shukrijumah is pictured in all three photographs. According to authorities, 29-year-old Adnan G. El Shukrijumah, who also goes by the names Adnan G. El Shukri Jumah, Abu Arif, Ja'far Al-Tayar, Jaffar Al-Tayyar, Jafar Tayar and Jaafar Al-Tayyar, is suspected of being an al-Qaida cell leader and has been wanted in the United States since 2003.

El Shukrijumah occasionally wears a beard, has a pronounced nose and is asthmatic, according to the FBI's Web site.

A spokesman for the FBI says the latest information places El Shukrijumah in Honduras with the intent of crossing the U.S. border.

El Shukrijumah speaks English and carries a Guyanese passport, according to authorities. However, the suspected terrorist might also try to enter the United States with a Saudi, Canadian or Trinidadian passport.

The Rewards For Justice Program by the U.S. State Department is offering a reward of up to $5 million for information leading directly to the capture of El Shukrijumah.

El Shukrijumah should be considered armed and dangerous, according to the FBI's Web site.

Wow! When did "border alerts" start? Is this a nod toward vigilantism? The New Minutemen arise?

Now watch the Liberals scream bloody murder about this jackass's rights being "violated" if/when he's detained.

PREVENTING TERRORIST ATTACK:
How You Can Help.

08/02/04

This is a message that bears repeating, no matter where you live in the world: Your assistance is needed in preventing terrorist acts.

It's a fact that certain kinds of activities can indicate terrorist plans that are in the works, especially when they occur at or near high profile sites or places where large numbers of people gather--like government buildings, military facilities, utilities, bus or train stations, major public events. If you see or know about suspicious activities, like the ones listed below, please report them immediately to the proper authorities. In the United States, that means your closest Joint Terrorist Task Force, located in an FBI Field Office. In other countries, that means your closest law enforcement/counterterrorism agency.

Surveillance: Are you aware of anyone video recording or monitoring activities, taking notes, using cameras, maps, binoculars, etc., near key facilities/events?

Suspicious Questioning: Are you aware of anyone attempting to gain information in person, by phone, mail, email, etc., regarding a key facility or people who work there?

Tests of Security: Are you aware of any attempts to penetrate or test physical security or procedures at a key facility/event?

Acquiring Supplies: Are you aware of anyone attempting to improperly acquire explosives, weapons, ammunition, dangerous chemicals, uniforms, badges, flight manuals, access cards or identification for a key facility/event or to legally obtain items under suspicious circumstances that could be used in a terrorist attack?

Suspicious Persons: Are you aware of anyone who does not appear to belong in the workplace, neighborhood, business establishment or near a key facility/event?

"Dry Runs": Have you observed any behavior that appears to be preparation for a terrorist act, such as mapping out routes, playing out scenarios with other people, monitoring key facilities/events, timing traffic lights or traffic flow, or other suspicious activities?

Deploying Assets: Have you observed abandoned vehicles, stockpiling of suspicious materials, or persons being deployed near a key facility/event?

If you answered yes to any of the above...if you have observed any suspicious activity that may relate to terrorism...again, please contact the Joint Terrorist Task Force or law enforcement/counterterrorism agency closest to you immediately. Your tip could save the lives of innocent people, just like you and yours.

I have, think it's a splendid idea.

Just a question to anyone who cares to comment:

My daughter noticed 2-3 Middle Eastern men in her apt complex taking photos of the Microsoft building across the freeway in Dallas. She knows their apt. Their apt door has an extra lock on it.

I told her to report it to the FBI. She's too embarrassed because she thinks the FBI will think she is nuts.

Opinions?

Pluses and minuses aside, for all intents in purposes, now, with your public post, it de-facto HAS been reported to the FBI. I am sure they are reading this.

"Now watch the Liberals scream bloody murder about this jackass's rights being "violated" if/when he's detained."

More likely Asa Hutchinson and corporate conservatives scream about border enforcement catching others only "wanting to do jobs Americans won't do."

its a criminal oligarchy, with the competing camps of Dems and Repubs wanting to keep the US southern border open, for different reasons, and the little guy in the middle like you and me getting squeezed, and now, being actually put in danger. enough.

I quite agree with you in your tag line.

However, things do not happen over night, and foreign language skills don't materialize out of the clear blue as you know. You might say "Welcome to America...now learn English." I think that would be both strict and fair.
