Ibrahim Salih Mohammed Al-Yacoub		African Embassy Bomber		At Large
Current Tally:
*Note: There has been some contradictory information as to the status of this individual. Abu Mohammed al-Masri is a nom de guerre, hence one should not confuse him with the al-Qaeda functionary of the same name who was recently killed in Algeria working with the GSPC. Mossad reportedly had intelligence that al-Masri might have been one of the suicide bombers involved in the al-Qaeda attack in Mombasa, but near as I can tell the findings were not corroborated **Note: Per Knight Ridder, he may have been captured along with Khalid Sheikh Mohammed. If this is indeed true it would be exceedingly good news.

"The Running Man" by Al Stewart. I think this was written with old fugitive Nazis hiding in South America in mind, but it kind of works for these terrorists as well.

*************************************************************************

Before the phone hits the receiver

You're halfway to the door

The voice said 'get out while you can,

There's just ten minutes, nothing more.

Time only for the essentials

Better gather them and run

The false name inside the passport,

The gold bars and the gun.

And once again they've come out of the past,

And though your mind is cool your heart is beating fast.

You've been through it all before,

Each time you wish a little more that you could ask,

.

What do you want from me?

What do you need from me?

There's no rest for the running man

Why can't you let him be?

.

It's a long and twisting journey,

From the sweeping northern plains,

To the outcrops of the jungle,

Bowed beneath the tropic rains.

In the customs hall the officer

Takes you to one side.

And his eyes reveal no feeling,

As you hand over the bribe.

And once again you've bought a little time,

And once again you're fading out of sight.

Still the fox is growing older,

As he calls over his shoulder to the night:

.

What do you want from me?

What do you need from me?

There's no rest for the running man,

Why can't you let him be?

.

Here, come over here,

Beneath a sympathetic moon

We'll sit and talk over old times without a fear,

Another beer, from the cafes of the night,

The tumbling rhythms of guitars ring loud and clear.

.

One by one they've nailed the others,

But you always got away.

What it is that keeps you just that step ahead,

No one can say.

In one last raid the agents

Of the dawn break down the door,

Of a house where you were standing

Maybe just an hour before.

And still the thread continues to unwind,

You take the hidden roads that only you can find.

And should they come upon your tracks,

There's just a question hanging back you left behind.

.

What do you want from me?

What do you need from me?

No rest for the running man,

Why can't you let him be?

If you haven't heard it, it's very very cool, like most of Al Stwewart's stuff. Nobody does "history music" like him! he is in a class by himself... "Roads to Moscow" etc etc.

[wardaddy]

I never knew that...I think Road to Moscow...

[Travis McGee]

He was literally a history teacher who got into writing songs. I am sure that if he wrote novels they would be incredible, if I could write like that... I mean, he creates some seriously awesome imagery. You should really get his greatest hits at least.

[wardaddy]

I had the Road to Moscow album and then the follow up which was softer and poppier....Cats or something like that.

Those were college days...

[Travis McGee]

College daze... Steely Dan, My Old School, etc.

How did we survive?

[wardaddy]

A fair amount of my grey matter obviously evaporated in the netherworld of cosmic exploration at that time...lol...now I've become my dad....glad for it too....always knew I would eventually.

Yep, Steely Dan....I always liked Can't Buy a Thrill but that was High School.

That follow up Al Stewart vinyl was Year of the Cat btw.


Damn I hated Disco....about the only bad thing about being in college in the late 70s. I was glad when a combo of Punk/New Wave and Urban Cowboy drove a spike thru it's dark heart.

[expatguy]

Maybe this is not an updated scorecard, but I did not notice - Abu Bakar Bashir on there - any of the JI or MILF people and also missing was the recent capture of two-tone man.
