The first three photos above are FBI pictures of Adnan "Jaafaral the Pilot" G. El Shukrijumah, described by Time Magazine as "an accomplished Arab Guyanese bombmaker and commercial pilot". (Time Magazine, August 23, 2004). The fourth photo on the right is a picture identified in the McMaster University 1998 Engineer and Physics graduating class as graduate Ciro Vitolo.
If Ciro Vitolo is not Osama bin Laden field commander Adnan El Shukrijumah, then it’s his twin.
Canadian Online Director Services 411.ca lists only two persons in Canada with the surname Vitolo. One is a first name beginning with the letter `G’. and the other an `S’.
The name Ciro Vitolo appears nowhere on the Worldwide Internet. Nor does it appear anywhere in the thousands of articles carried in faculty or student newspapers.
A check of the name on Lexis Nexis turned up empty.

Shukrijumah has a hooked nose; Vitolo does not, or at least has a much smaller "hook".

And do it quick because I suspect they may get sued out of business fairly fast..
No wonder we can't catch these guys!
Actually, read the article at the link, it does seem strange that this 'graduate' doesn't seem to exist.
Looks like someone was tried for his attempted homicide, according to an Italian-language posting from 2005:
http://www.carabinieri.it/Internet/Cittadino/Informazioni/News/NewsDetail.htm?NewsID=11097
Thanks for the link, but what is that site?
I only speak English.
It looks like a link to a police public information site from Italy. My Italian isn't that great either, but it's from the carabinieri, the elite Italian police.
We have to excerpt Canada Free Press, or I would have pasted the whole article.
Thanks.
Ciro Vitolo? Sounds like a guy who'll make you an offer you can't refuse.
They don't look alike to me. Vitolo has a different nose and jawline, and his ears are different among other things.
I'm sure Mr. Vitolo appreciates unobservant people comparing him to a bombmaker.
Looks like Ciro Vitolo works in economics in Italy. http://parvapolis.panservice.it/index.php3?idnotizia=8657
There are other articles found via Google that indicate that a Ciro Vitolo works in government in Italy.
Since this is not mentioned in the article I assume that the reporter and his editor never thought to check.
If I were publisher of the Canada Free Press I might consider boning up my staff's research capabilities just a tad.
I said "his" editor; I should have said "her" editor.
This is one of the more irresponsibly stupid media actions I've seen in a long time.
