Terror suspect alert after a sighting in Maine
2003-09-14
Two men wanted in connection with a FBI’s terrorism investigation may have been seen in Naples, Maine — about 30 miles from Conway, N.H. The Federal Bureau of Investigation issued an alert Thursday that said a witness saw two men Sunday who fit the description of Adnan G. El Shukrijumah, 27, and Abderraouf Jdey, 38, two men they are seeking for questioning. The men were reportedly headed south on Route 302 at around 4 p.m. in a newer model, slate gray BMW sedan with Massachusetts license plates. The men should be considered armed and dangerous, the FBI said. According to a Sept. 6 story by the Associated Press, El Shukrijumah is a Saudi native who lived for a number of years in South Florida. The FBI has been searching for months, and officials say he could be a terror cell leader or organizer similar to Mohamed Atta. The FBI says he is of particular interest because of his familiarity with the United States, ability to use fake documents and fluency in English. Jdey was born in Tunisia and became a Canadian citizen in 1995. Jdey was among five men who left suicide messages on videotapes recovered at the Afghanistan residence of Mohammed Atef. Also recovered was a suicide letter in which Jdey promised to die fighting non-Muslim infidels.
Y'know, that's the sort of thing that makes defense attorneys weep real tears...

#1  When Islamic terrorists are on the run, they are very cagey and always hide in a place where you blend in... like Maine.
