U.S.A on global terror hunting
http://www.sina.com.cn 2004/05/28 11:40  Shanghai Daily

  Global intelligence and police are on a worldwide hunt for terrorists with ties to places as disparate as Boston, Islamabad, and Panama City, part of a US scramble to avoid what officials fear could be a massive attack this summer.

  The US Justice Department released a list of seven people wanted for questioning on Wednesday after authorities received credible intelligence reports pointing to a terror attack of September 11 proportions in the United States this summer.

  US Attorney General John Ashcroft asked American citizens to give any information they can, and foreign governments have been recruited.

  Those on the list include a man who grew up on a goat ranch in California before converting to Islam; a Tunisian who obtained Canadian citizenship; a Tanzanian who goes by the names "Foopie," "Fupi" and "Ahmed the Tanzanian;" a Pakistani woman who received a biology degree in Boston; and a native of the Comoros Republic in the Indian Ocean who is believed to be al-Qaida's point-man in east Africa.

  Even Panama, a country known more for its canal than terrorism, has been included in the search. Officials said they are trying to find a man identified as Adnan Gulshair El Shukrijumah, of Saudi Arabia.

  Panamanian Security Council Chief Ramiro Jarvis said El Shukrijumah arrived in Panama legally from the United States in April 2001 - five months before the September 11 terror attacks - and stayed in Panama for 10 days.

  "We don't know exactly what he did and it is important to find out," Jarvis said.

  Migration records show El Shukrijumah returned to the United States, Interior Department spokesman David Salayandia said. He was last seen in Panama.

  The revelation was one of the few indicators that have tied Latin America to the global terrorism threat. Officials have long worried that terrorists would use the region to attack the United States, but so far there has been little evidence to support that fear.

  Elsewhere, a top al-Qaida leader in Saudi Arabia issued a battle plan on for an urban guerrilla war in the kingdom, already reeling from a recent spate of militant attacks.

  The Arabic-language statement, posted on several Islamist Websites and purportedly from Abdulaziz al-Muqrin, gave a detailed list of steps militants should take to succeed in their violent campaign against the Saudi royal family.

  It was not immediately possible to verify the authenticity of the statement.
