FBI Hunts Four Men Linked to Threats Against U.S.


FBI Hunts Four Men Linked to Threats Against U.S.
Fri September 5, 2003 12:10 PM ET

By Deborah Charles
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The FBI on Friday urged the public to be on the lookout for four men -- including two the agency has been seeking for months -- who may be connected to possible threats against the United States.

The FBI issued "Seeking Information" alerts on its Web site for Adnan G. El Shukrijumah, Abderraouf Jdey, Karim El Mejjati and Zubayr al-Rimi.

The alerts, signed by FBI Director Robert Mueller, said the men "should be considered armed and dangerous." But, he added, "We don't have a specific threat."

The warnings were issued a week before the two-year anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001 hijacked plane attacks and the day after the Department of Homeland Security issued an advisory warning that al Qaeda appeared to still be planning attacks against the United States.

1. FBI: "And whatever you do...don't pay attention to Iraq!"
A new version of the same ol' game I think.

"The FBI posted the bulletin on its Web site
and circulated it among law enforcement
agencies after recent intelligence indicated
the four could be involved in an unspecified
plot against U.S. interests, said a law
enforcement official who spoke on
condition of anonymity.

The FBI had been seeking information about all four - two Saudis, a
Moroccan and a Tunisian - for months, but the new intelligence led officials
to intensify the search, said a second official, also on condition of anonymity.

None of the four are believed to be in the United States."


Anonymous new info from anonymous sources about an unspecified plot. The height of reliability and specificity!! Put up pictures of swarthy males to alarm folks and distract. We have seen it before yes.

7. I am stunned....
not by the alert but by the text in the alert or at least MSNBC's version of it (they've decided to combine all the fear stories together):

In another development Friday in the so-called war on terror, authorities in Spain announced that they had detained a correspondent for the Arab TV network Al-Jazeera after linking him to suspected al-Qaida members there.

Wow!! I never thought I'd see the day.
