| Al-Qaeda mystery man still sought, ten years later |
| 2011-09-11 |
| Adnan El Shukrijumah left his family's home in 2001 and went to Trinidad on business supposedly to buy sunglasses and children's clothes for resale in South Florida flea markets. Ten years later, Shukrijumah is a fugitive -- sought by the FBI as a leading operative for al-Qaida amid lingering questions about his possible association with key 9/11 hijackers before the terrorist attacks. He's also under indictment charged with directing a suicide-bomb plot in 2009 against the New York City subway system. The reward for his capture: $5 million. Shukrijumah is especially dangerous because of the time he spent in America. His whereabouts -- and whether he played a direct role in 9/11 -- remains among the key unanswered questions a decade after the attacks. Shukrijumah is now a top member and perhaps the head of al-Qaida's foreign operations subcommittee, according to terror expert Rohan Gunaratna. Gunaratna said, "He has moved up in the ranks because he's very clever and because he knows the main target, the United States." |

| #6 Esam Ghazzawi went to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia 11 days prior to 911. Essentially left the dinner on the table when he left. He's got a wife Deborah and daughter Anoud. Linkin lists an Esam Ghazzawi living in Saudi. The guy is listed as a banker. There is also a Esam with daughter Adel and wife Deborah living in the Gulf (mideast). I wonder if there is more than one of these guys with the same name and same wife's name. The Sauds get a pass? Appears that some members of the House of Saud financed 911. Seems like there are Iran and Pak links too. Why do we seem to be so mum. |

| #4 So where is Adnan El Shukrijumah? And where are Esam Ghazzawi and Abdulazzi al-Hiijjii? The house in Sarasota seemed to be a way station or safe house for the 911 hijackers while going to flight schools. If bin Laden can be found, these people can be found too--unless there is some block to finding them. |

| #2 Scheuer, the former CIA analyst, said he had “seen nothing to make me doubt” reports that Shukrijumah had used Mexican migrant smugglers and perhaps drug traffickers to sneak into the United States more than once since 9/11. Why is our government dragging its collective feet? Close the border, the Hispanic vote can't be more important than national security. |

| #1 And that's part of the reason they say that the next jihadist attack may come from the Caribbean. http://moneyjihad.wordpress.com/2010/08/01/special-report-guyana-islamic-trust-touts-work-with-muslim-brotherhood-affiliated-charities/ |
