Al-Qaida operative may make border run

PHOENIX - Federal law enforcement agencies along Arizona's border with Mexico are on alert for a suspected al-Qaida operative who may be working his way north to the United States from Honduras.

Susan Herskovits, spokeswoman for the FBI's Phoenix office, said Adnan G. El Shukrijumah, a 29-year-old Saudi national, was reportedly seen in Honduras recently. The man was one of a number of suspected terrorists being sought by the United States recently.

Because the border between Arizona and the Mexican state of Sonora is a popular smuggling route for illegal immigrants the alert for El Shukrijumah includes both the American and Mexican states, she said.

In articles that have appeared in the Sierra Vista Herald/Bisbee Daily Review in the past, federal agents have noted that a corridor exists in Cochise County that is popular for smugglers who bring illegal immigrants into the United States.
