Most Wanted Terrorists
| Terrorist - A radical who employs terror
as a political weapon; usually organizes with other
terrorists in small cells; often uses religion as a
cover for terrorist activities |
| The alleged terrorists on this
list have been indicted by sitting Federal Grand
Juries in various jurisdictions in the United States
for the crimes reflected on their wanted posters.
Evidence was gathered and presented to the Grand
Juries, which led to their being charged. The
indictments currently listed on the posters allow
them to be arrested and brought to justice. Future
indictments may be handed down as various
investigations proceed in connection to other
terrorist incidents, for example, the terrorist
attacks on September 11, 2001.
The Rewards for Justice program,
administered by the United States Department of
State's Bureau of Diplomatic Security, offers
rewards for information leading to the arrest of
many of these terrorists.
It is also important to note that
these individuals will remain wanted in connection
with their alleged crimes until such time as the
charges are dropped or when credible physical
evidence is obtained, which proves with 100%
accuracy, that they are deceased. |
