Adnan Gulshair el Shukrijumah ((アラビア語:عدنان شكري جمعة), ''ʿAdnān Shukrī Jumaʿah'') (4 August 1975 – 6 December 2014) was a citizen of Saudi Arabia and a senior member of al-Qaeda. He was born in Saudi Arabia and grew up in the United States.〔〔(US reward offer for information on el Shukrijumah )〕 In March 2003, a provisional arrest warrant was issued calling him a "material witness", and he was subsequently listed by the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) on the Seeking Information - War on Terrorism list,〔(FBI Seeking Information, War on Terrorism list archive ), Internet Archive Wayback Machine, 3 June 2003〕 and the United States Department of State, through the Rewards for Justice Program, offered a bounty of up to US$5 million for information about his location.〔〔(FBI Seeking Information Alert for el Shukrijumah )〕 Last known to have lived with his family in Miramar, Florida,〔NBC, (Woman Sought by FBI Reportedly Arrested in Pakistan: Neurologist Questioned by FBI for Alleged Al-Qaida Links ), 3 April 2003〕 Shukrijumah was known to have a Guyanese passport but might also have used a Saudi, Canadian, or Trinidadian passport.〔United States House of Representatives, Small Business Committee, (Testimony of Janice L. Kephart ), 17 November 2005〕〔 Saudi Arabia has repeatedly denied that el Shukrijumah was a Saudi citizen.〔(Riyadh denies that el Shukrijumah is a Saudi )〕 He was considered to be a high-ranking member of al-Qaeda. His mother insisted that her asthmatic son had been wrongly accused.〔 He also went by the names ''Abu Arif'', and ''Jafar al-Tayyar'', the latter translating to "Jafar the Pilot".〔US News, (A hunt for 'the Pilot' ), 30 March 2003〕 In 2014, American news media reported that Shukrijumah was killed in a military manhunt operation by Pakistani Special Forces in South Waziristan.〔http://www.cnn.com/2014/12/06/world/asia/pakistan-al-qaeda-death/index.html?iref=allsearch〕 The Pakistani Taliban confirmed Shukrijumah's death two days later.〔http://www.longwarjournal.org/threat-matrix/archives/2014/12/pakistani_taliban_confirms_dea.php〕 ==Early years== Shukriumah moved to the United States in the 1980s as a young teenager with his parents. His mother Zuhrah Abdu Ahmed still resides in Florida, while his father died following a career as an imam.〔 In 2001, his father had attracted the interest of officials, as the Saudi embassy had sent him $19,200.〔Boston Herald, "War on Terror: Money Trail", 9 April 2004〕 Shukrijumah learned English later in his youth. As a young adult in 1997, he attended "English as a Second Language" classes. The FBI obtained a videotape of Adnan G. El Shukrijumah from the period that shows him giving a presentation exercise to the class, in which he speaks at length on the subject of jump starting a car.〔(Transcript of Adnan G. El Shukrijumah's Video ), FBI, 1997, view video (with RealPlayer ), view mpg video (with Windows Media Player )〕 U.S. authorities believe that he may have been trained at an Afghan training camp in the late 1990s. He is alleged to have received assistance from American neuroscientist Aafia Siddiqui.〔 Shukrijumah enrolled at Broward Community College, and earned money on the side working as a freelance computer technician.〔 He applied for a green card so as to have his permanent residence status in the United States recognized, but lied on his application about having ever been arrested in the past.〔 In March 2001, while investigating Imran Mandhai, who attended the same Florida mosque as Shukrijumah, authorities made a note that Mandhai had eyed Shukrijumah as a potential colleague in whom to confide his plans, although Shukrijumah had refused to associate with the militant Mandhai. Reports would later accuse Mandhai of plotting to destroy Mount Rushmore.〔〔Ragavan, Chitra. US News and World Report, "A Hunt for The Pilot", 7 April 2003〕〔Adams, David. St. Petersburg Times, "US charges long-detained citizen", November 23, 2003〕〔Meyer, Josh. Los Angeles Times, "A mystery man who keeps the FBI up at night", 3 September 2006〕 Shukrijumah left the United States in May 2001 and flew to Trinidad after receiving his degree in computer engineering.〔 However Mandhai's testimony in court would indicate that he believed he had last seen Shukrijumah two months after his stated departure.〔 Authorities tried to speak with Shukrijumah, appearing unannounced at his parents' home six times asking if he was available - only to be told that he had left the country.〔 Under torture, Jose Padilla claims to have been partnered with Shukrijumah in the summer of 2001, and that the pair were taught how to seal natural gas into apartment complexes and detonate explosives in a course they received at the Kandahar airport. Padilla claims that the two men constantly fought, and he eventually went to Mohammed Atef to complain that he could not work with Shukrijumah and the training was canceled.〔CNN, (Transcript of News Conference on Jose Padilla ), 1 June 2004〕 In late 2002, Shukrijumah phoned his parents to tell them that he had found a wife, settled down and had a son, and was now teaching English in Morocco. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Adnan Gulshair el Shukrijumah」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
