FBI NAMES ALLEGED TERROR RECRUITER TO MOST-WANTED LIST

ALEXANDRIA, Va. (AP) — The FBI has added an alleged recruiter for the al-Shabab terror group in Somalia to its list of most-wanted terrorists.

An arrest warrant was unsealed Thursday for 29-year-old Liban Haji Mohamed, a naturalized U.S. citizen born in Somalia who had lived and worked in northern Virginia as a taxi driver. He is charged with providing material support to al-Qaida and al-Shabab.

Mohamed is now one of 31 people on the FBI’s list of most-wanted terrorists.

The FBI believes Mohamed left the U.S. in July 2012 for east Africa. He lived in northern Virginia prior to that.

The FBI says Mohamed is a key target because his knowledge of the nation’s capital could help al-Shabab plot an attack here.
