Most Wanted Terrorists
The FBI's newest tactic
 (Images Source/FBI) Related Links |
On October 10, 2001, President Bush announced a new "most wanted" list of suspected terrorists. The list is comprised of people indicted by federal grand juries for killing, or plotting to kill, Americans in terrorist attacks. Those providing information leading to the successful capture or conviction of one of these individuals will receive a reward of up to five million dollars.
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.
