A Mystery Man Who Keeps the FBI Up at Night Officials hunting virtually full time for a Florida computer technician see him as the ultimate 'sleeper agent' in the post-9/11 world. By Josh Meyer Times Staff Writer

CHARLIEVILLE, Trinidad and Tobago — Five years ago, as 19 Al Qaeda operatives in the United States put the finishing touches on what would become the Sept. 11 attacks, a frail, asthmatic computer engineer from South Florida paid a visit to this tiny Muslim enclave where he'd lived as a boy.
Adnan Gulshair Muhammad el Shukrijumah, then 25, kept a low profile over the course of the week. He hung out with a small circle of devout older men who were leaders of the local Islamic community. They prayed in mosques, went fishing and enjoyed long walks and leisurely dinners, recalled one of the hosts, Imtiaz Mohammed.
Shukrijumah spoke fondly of his father, an influential Islamic scholar and Charlieville community leader two decades earlier. He also spoke of his family life in Miramar, Fla., his computer technician business and his travels to the Middle East and other exotic locales.
But Shukrijumah said nothing about why he was in Trinidad, nor what his plans were, acquaintances here say.
Two years later, the FBI put out an urgent all-points bulletin for Shukrijumah, depicting him as one of Al Qaeda's most well-trained, intelligent and deadly operatives. He was described as the ultimate "sleeper agent," intent on attacking the U.S., possibly with weapons of mass destruction.

I have no interest in visiting Italy and do not find Blond haired and either blue or green eyes to be the usual.
Good grief!
Well that's a non-sequitar. I guess it's consistant with your opinions.
Thanks for the ping Grampa Dave.
I think nmh is just having a bad day....you are right.
Really, how old are you? Does you mom know that you're playing on the computer?
Adnan: Alibuba?
Alibuba: Yes?
Adnan:Do you ever have that, ... "not so fresh" feeling?
There are some people out there totally oblivious to facts and experience. Bad day are not, they are immune to arguments and logic.
You have acknowledged the obvious, that there are millions of blond haired, blue and green eyed, light complexioned, Italians. I have seen many in my travels throughtout the Piedmont and Central Italy. I haven't seen anyone in Italy that looked similar to Adnan, although I saw some dark people in Napoli. Thanks for your response.

"Be as childish and cantankerous as you like but 'will be hard pressed to have ANYONE believe that having blond hair and blue or green eyed is typical of an Italian."
Go back and read my responses and you will be hard-pressed to find any reference to "blond hair and blue or green eyes is typical of an Italian." Listen up, I'll say it again, there are millions of light skinned blond haired, green and blue eyed Italians residing in the Piedmont area of Italy. That is a truism. If you can't understand that you are impervious to facts and the truth.
He looks Indian and appears to have an Indian last name. Not sure though.
