A Saudi terrorist suspect might be making his way to the U.S.-Mexico border amid groups of undocumented immigrants, officials with the FBI and the U.S. Embassy said.

Officials on both sides of the border have asked law enforcement officials, including Border Patrol agents and El Paso¹s bridge inspectors, as well as the community at large to be on the lookout for Adnan G. El Shukrijumah, 29, a native of Saudi Arabia who may be using a Guyanese, Canadian or Trinidadian passport.

Shukrijumah was spotted in Honduras earlier this year, FBI officials said, and used to reside in Trinidad and Tobago, off the coast of Latin America. “He is believed to be one of the most dangerous cell leader below the leadership of al-Qaeda who plans to hurt the United States,” Art Werge, spokesman for the FBI in El Paso, said.

Michelle Malkin’s site also features this story today. “He has been billed as the “next Mohammed Atta.” Only unlike Atta, he isn’t flying in and out of our airports. He’s apparently dancing around the southern border, down Mexico way.”
