#1 FBI interest

http://www.fbi.gov/terrorinfo/nabhan.htm

he is wanted for "questioning". Presumably questioning could enable them to learn more about AQ which has attacked the US, including the East African embassies, of course.

Alternatively I suppose it could be some internation aviation treaty, or an interpol thingie.

#2 Of course he will not be available for "questioning" any more.

#3 The FBI's interest was in the 1998 embassy bombings, which were planned & carried out by a related cell of Al-Qaeda affiliates. He may have had membership in them both and/or it may have been the same cell.
