I’ve read several accounts recently regarding Adnan G. El Shukrijumah. Read this post at In The Bullpen and this one at the Jawa Report for the background.

Both posts discussed the story by Pakistani journalist, Hamid Mir which included this:

Mir also said that bin Laden has assigned a man named Adnan Al-Shukri Juma to carry out a new attack within the US which is intended to be larger than the 11 September, 2001 attacks. According to Mir, Adnan Jumaa has smuggled explosives and nuclear materials into the US through the Mexican border over the last two years and is hiding somewhere in America where the FBI has not been able to locate him.

The Pakistani journalist also gave a brief background on Adnan Jumaa. Born in Saudi Arabia, he moved to the US where he met a group of a Al-Qaeda members in the Al-Farouq mosque in New York in 2000. He then traveled to an Arab state and from there to Pakistan then Afghanistan. He left there two years ago and since then has smuggled nuclear material from Mexico to the US. Jumaa has earned the nickname “Al-Qaeda nuclear whizz” and is tagged to play the same role in a future attack as Mohammed Atta did in the 9/11 attacks.

Dr. Rusty Shackleford has this post at The Jawa Report this afternoon:
Al Qaeda Dirty Bomber Spotted in Austin, Texas?

A Jawa Report reader e-mailed us about a possible sighting of Adnan G. El Shukrijumah, a man wanted by the FBI in connection with a plot to detonate a dirty bomb in the United States.

The post contains a portion of that email. As Rusty said, “The probability of it turning out to be Adnan G. El Shukrijumah is low, but the risk associated with that probability is about as high as it goes. Better safe than sorry.”

If you have any information about El Shukrijumah you can find contact information for the nearest FBI field office here, or submit a tip via the internet here.
