He has always reminded me greatly of someone I spotted shortly after 911 on a local Indian reservation in a cigarette shop in the shop's office area. When I walked out to my car, he was then behind the wheel of the car next to mine staring at me. I was slightly creeped as anyone woman would be when someone unfamilar stares at them, but I also thought "what wonderful serene eyes" he has. In my subsequent monthly visits to the FBI website, I spotted the sheik dude and went, hmmmm. But so many of the most wanted look familiar to me. But this guy looked very familiar.

After weeks of should I or shouldn't I, I called the FBI and when I was finally able to reach someone -- and that alone took quite a few minutes -- they sounded breathless and like they couldn't be bothered (alright, so I waited until New Year's Eve of 2001 to call...I like to be sure before I report something! As I said, many of the most wanted look familiar.) The woman on the phone with me from the FBI NYC office kept getting the name of the town where the Indian reservation was located wrong multiple times even after I spelled it! And when -- because of that -- I very much wanted to spell the name of this Sheik Swedan guy to her, she told me there was no time for that. But I know the FBI was crazy busy that New Year's Eve and some of most wanted terrorists were new addditions, so I forgave them and reported the info on the internet as backup.
