TUCSON -- An alert has been issued along the Mexico border for a suspected al-Qaida member who may be trying to cross the border through Arizona or Texas.
FBI Adnan G. El Shukrijumah is pictured in all three photographs. According to authorities, 29-year-old Adnan G. El Shukrijumah, who also goes by the names Adnan G. El Shukri Jumah, Abu Arif, Ja'far Al-Tayar, Jaffar Al-Tayyar, Jafar Tayar and Jaafar Al-Tayyar, is suspected of being an al-Qaida cell leader and has been wanted in the United States since 2003.
El Shukrijumah occasionally wears a beard, has a pronounced nose and is asthmatic, according to the FBI's Web site.
A spokesman for the FBI says the latest information places El Shukrijumah in Honduras with the intent of crossing the U.S. border.
El Shukrijumah speaks English and carries a Guyanese passport, according to authorities. However, the suspected terrorist might also try to enter the United States with a Saudi, Canadian or Trinidadian passport.
The Rewards For Justice Program by the U.S. State Department is offering a reward of up to $5 million for information leading directly to the capture of El Shukrijumah.
El Shukrijumah should be considered armed and dangerous, according to the FBI's Web site.
Given that 75% of population want border enforcement the candidate that forgoes his corporate sponsorship wins this election. couple that with a coherent energy policy that's a 50 state win.
Bush and Kerry won't do it. Shame.
Report it now.
News media will be increasingly picking up on this story.

Yes, it is a good idea to have the local branch office of the FBI handy if you see any seriously suspicious activity. Plane instructors need to be alert; U-Haul, Ryder etc rental facilities need to be alert; chemical, oil, electrical, water, power and other infrastructure facilities managers and employees need to be alert. The list goes on. We need to be aware of vehicles (limos, trucks etc. parked in suspicious or vulnerable areas. A suspicious "individual", fitting a pattern (edited for PC reasons) obviously leaving a vehicle in a hurry in a strange location (side of a building, next to a power facility, etc) should be cause for concern and added detail to attention by any observers.
In fact, we all need to be vigilant.
No question here. Report it and fast! Better safe than sorry!
Then *you* report it.
Call FBI. Take careful note of anything unusual.
Additionally, take note of any information that may prove useful later on in the event of follow-up after a terrorist attack. License plates, height, weights, distinctive features, etc. The circumstances in which the pictures were taken, combined with any other suspicious activity - or lack thereof - may help determine whether this is a false alarm or not. It is better to be safe than sorry at this point.
Hypothetically, if the building were demolished in a controlled explosion later on, what would your conscience have to say if you said noting? Better to calmly call the FBI, state that you do not want to over-react to anything but there may potentially be something of concern that you think could be suspicious but you are not sure about and would rather be safe and their professional opinion is valued in this case.
Give them as much accurate background detail in as scientific a manner as possible as possible as to why you were suspicious in the first place and let them make the decision as to whether this should be looked into further or not.
Thanks for the input. I'm going to get the apartment number from her tonight and report it.
Thanks for the ping, this is one of several times this has been posted...but it doesn't hurt in this case since this is, IMHO, very important.
Adnar Shukrijumar has been way up on the terror watch list since early this year...he could very well be the next Mohammed Atta.
She should absolutely report it to the FBI.
She can do it on the web, which makes it easy and convenient. She should give them all the info she has.
It's IMPORTANT!
