Zulkifli Abdhir is a U.S.-trained engineer accused of teaching bomb-making techniques to terrorists overseas. The Justice Department believes he is in the Philippines, engaged in running gun battles with troops and conducting a bombing campaign.[3]

The other lived quietly in San Jose, tapping away at a computer, Googling about faraway places and making a few visits to the bank. One brother, Zulkifli Abdhir, 41, remains a wanted terrorist flush with aliases and a $5 million bounty for his leadership in an al-Qaida-affiliated terror group called Jemaah Islamiyah.[4] Months later on January 10, 2007, three bombings took place in the same region that killed seven people and left more than 40 wounded. If captured and convicted Zulkifli Abdhir faces up to 30 years in prison, his brother, Rahmat faces up to 28 years.[5] Thursday night, his brother, Rahmat Abdhir, a U.S. citizen who lives near San Francisco, was accused of supporting terrorism by using the U.S. mail system to send cash, rifle scopes and two-way radios to the Philippines. The radios may have been used to help his brother make bombs, the government says.[3] The indictment also alleges that Rahmat Abdhir transferred money to the Philippines for purchases of items including firearms and ammunition. He sent more than 10,000 dollars between June 2006 and June 2007 to bank accounts his brother provided in the Philippines.[6]
