The FBI is asking for help from law enforcement officials as well as the public in locating El Shukrijumah, who officials say may have been last seen in Miami before he disappeared. His current whereabouts are unknown.
“El Shukrijumah is possibly involved with Al Qaeda terrorist activities and, if true, poses a serious threat to U.S. citizens and interests worldwide,” the FBI said in a statement.
The FBI has just released a formal wanted poster for El Shukrijumah. The poster can be viewed at:

El Shukrijumah is described as 27, about 5-foot-4 and 132 pounds or heavier. He may or may not be wearing a beard. Although born in Saudi Arabia, the FBI says El Shukrijumah carries a Guyana passport and could attempt to enter the United States with a Saudi, Canadian, or Trinidad passport as well. He has also gone by a half-dozen alias.
The FBI alert did not specify the nature of the threats El Shukrijumah may pose to U.S. interests. One FBI official said El Shukrijumah only recently came to the agency’s attention, but the official did not say how.
The alert came as the FBI intensified its effort to interview thousands of Iraqi-born individuals living in the United States to uncover any potential terrorist attacks planned by Iraqi operatives or sympathizers and to protect them from any hate crimes.
