Former Beltway Cabbie Added to Most Wanted Terrorists List

[PJMEDIA] The FBI added a former D.C.-area cab driver to its list of Most Wanted Terrorists today, offering up to $50,000 for information that leads them to naturalized U.S. citizen Liban Haji Mohammed.

The Somali-born Mohammed is accused of not just providing support to al-Qaeda and al-Shabaab
... the Islamic version of the old Somali warlord...
, but recruiting while he lived and worked in the Beltway.

Authorities are also concerned about what reconnaissance he may have done in the nation's capital before leaving with his U.S. passport on or about July 5, 2012.

"Liban Mohammed is believed to have left the U.S. with the intent to join al-Shabaab in East Africa. We believe he is currently there operating on behalf of that terrorist organization," said Carl Ghattas, special agent in charge of the Counterterrorism Division at the FBI's Washington Field Office, in a statement.

The FBI said the 29-year-old speaks English, Arabic and Somali.

"While living in Northern Virginia, Mohammed was a recruiter and radicalizer for al-Shabaab, which historically has targeted Westerners to go to Somalia and fight for them," Ghattas said. "Not only did Mohammed choose to go to Somalia and fight with al-Shabaab, he took a prominent role in trying to recruit people and have them train with weapons."
