Suspected Terrorist Reportedly Spotted On UCF Campus

Posted: 6:03 p.m. EST April 2, 2003 Updated: 6:32 p.m. EST April 2, 2003

University of Central Florida police confirmed Wednesday night that they are investigating a number of reported sightings of one of the FBI's most wanted terror suspects, Local 6 News reported.

El Shukrijumah, 27, is suspected of plotting terrorist attacks against U.S. targets and could be hiding in Florida, the FBI said last month .

Last week, El Shukrijumah was reportedly spotted in Miami and possibly in Tampa. The latest sightings come from people on the UCF campus.

Officials said his organizing capabilities are comparable to those of Mohammed Atta, the suspected organizer of the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks.

El Shukrijumah also received flight training, possibly in Florida.

Watch Local 6 News for more on this story.

UCF certainly doesn't sound like a place anybody should send their kids for an education.

You probably couldn't find 72 virgins on a state college campus.

Why not. Cunanan did the same thing for months. Sounds like this terrorist guy would fit right in at that campus.

Curious minds want to know, did he declare a major in Anti-America Studies or a minor in Terrorism?

What makes this one even harder to nab is his looks. He looks too "regular".....he doesn't have that MEAN look that most of these yahoo's have.
