Joanne Chesimard, a left-wing militant who shot a state trooper on the New Jersey Turnpike 40 years ago today, has become the first woman on the FBI's list of Most Wanted Terrorists.
"Joanne Chesimard is a domestic terrorist who murdered a law enforcement officer execution-style," said Aaron Ford, special agent in charge of the FBI's Newark Division.
Chesimard, a fugitive living in Cuba under the name Assata Shakur, was a member of the Black Liberation Army in 1973 when she shot and killed Trooper Werner Foerster during a traffic stop.
According to a state police account, "Foerster was severely wounded in his right arm and abdomen and then executed with his own service weapon on the roadside. Chesimard's jammed handgun was found at Foerster's side."

Gee, when are they going to pick up Obama’s terrorist friends in Chicago?
Isn’t she a czar in the Obama administration?
Why does the left care after all Ayers and his wife are both murderers and bombers and are teaching at prestigious schools.
Gee, if this woman had only become a professor.
I guess they need to get her so they can give her a medal? Or does the administration have a job opening in the lecture circuit.
I do believe she is not untouchable in Cuba.
Go figure the Obama’s had a radical appeaser at the White House it seems like that is all they associate with.
She’s been in Cuba for almost 30 years. Why add her now? Is there some new information or something?
Who was apprehended/died/abducted by UFOs to make room for her at the top?
That’s my view.
We have terrorists right here teaching in college, why look for them in Cuba.
Our terrorist helped Obama get his start and people still voted Obama for President.
“She’s been in Cuba for almost 30 years. Why add her now? Is there some new information or something?”
Exactly. This makes no sense whatsoever. Have they run out of REAL threats to add to the list and are scraping the bottom of the barrel? Or it is more politically correct to have some “diversity” to the list? You know, instead of having the list be composed solely of male Muslim terrorists.
Personally, I think this is simply a BS diversity maneuver by the Obammunists. After all, Holder is more interested in making sure Muslims are thought to be likeable than actually protecting us from mad bombers.
Well, this sounds like something the NAGs should be celebrating...Finally the FBI ends its institutional discrimination again wymyn terrorists. It's about time, I say!!
Probably means Obama is getting ready to normalize relations with the Castro Brothers, which might leave her vulnerable to an extradition.
If Zero had a daughter...
Affirmative Action. Itz werking!

Assata Olugbala Shakur was born on this date in 1947. She is an African-American writer exiled from America.
In the late 1960s, Shakur became involved with the Black Panther party and her political problems began. Between 1973 and 1977, Shakur was indicted 10 times and stood trial for two bank robberies, the kidnapping of a drug dealer, attempted murder of several police officers, and the murder of a New Jersey state trooper. In 1973, on the New Jersey Turnpike, state troopers stopped Shakur, Malik Zayad Shakur, and Sundiata Acoli, two of her friends, because of a shattered headlight. The trooper said they were "suspicious" because they had Vermont license plates. Shots were fired. Not much is known about who did what, but in the end, state trooper Werner Foerster and Malik Shakur were killed. Shakur and Sundiata were charged with the death of Foerster. Their trial had many flaws, including racial injustice by the jury and admitted perjury by the trial's star witness.
In the book, she tells her side of the story, describing her upbringing, her reasoning for becoming a revolutionary, and the events before, during, and after the shooting. The book also has many poems written by Shakur. Although now in Cuba, she is still an active voice in the struggle for equal rights in America.
