Stop this man ... 9/11 anniversary plot suspect hunted by FBI
This grinning man is feared to be one of three terrorists plotting a truck bomb attack for today’s 10th *anniversary of 9/11.
An international manhunt was under way last night for 22-year-old American-born Jude Keenan Mohammad and two other suspected Al Qaeda cell leaders.
The picture was posted on the FBI’s most-wanted list as New York went into security lockdown with all suspicious *vehicles being searched by police.
The FBI said he is wanted for *“conspiracy to provide material support to terrorists, conspiracy to murder, kidnap, maim and injure persons in a foreign country”.
Mohammed is feared to be behind a “credible” al-Qaeda threat to set off a bomb in a vehicle on a bridge or in a tunnel in New York or Washington.
Born in Florida, he dropped out of North Carolina’s Fuquay-Varina High School in 2006 and left the US two years later to visit Pakistan, his father’s home country.
A jury in North Carolina indicted him and seven other men in 2009 on charges that they conspired to carry out terrorist acts around the world.
It is believed Mohammad then went into hiding in Pakistan.
Police said information about the bomb plot came from a trusted source in Pakistan who “has never been wrong”.
The source said the men had been personally recruited by Osama bin Laden’s successor as Al Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahiri, who has vowed to avenge the terror lord’s death.
It is feared Mohammad and another American citizen of Arab descent left Afghanistan and travelled through Dubai to reach the US as recently as last week.
Detectives consider that Mohammad – who has no past terror record – is adept at blending into normal society. But since 2009 he is believed to have been travelling between north-west Pakistan and the US on the orders of senior Taliban leaders.
He is thought to be part of a cell of eight US-based Jihadists, one of whom drove a truck bearing a sticker saying “Support our troops” so as to appear a normal American.
US Vice President Joe Biden *yesterday insisted “all hands are on deck” in the hunt for the men.
In New York, thousands of police were on patrol and manning roadblocks. Some vans and trucks were searched five times and drivers spent hours to make journeys that usually take five minutes.
The area round Ground Zero, where the Twin Towers were destroyed a decade ago, was sealed off for *President Barack Obama’s visit this morning.
In Afghanistan, the Taliban marked the anniversary by claiming 9/11 was an “ambiguous and murky event” that America used as an excuse to kill tens of thousands of Muslims.
