FBI Releases Age-Progressed Photos of Four Most Wanted Terrorists From Pan Am Flight 73 Hijacking
The FBI Washington Field Office announced the release of age-progressed
photographs of four alleged hijackers charged in the United States with
the September 5, 1986 attack of Pan American World Airways Flight 73 in
Karachi, Pakistan: Wadoud Muhammad Hafiz al-Turki, Jamal Saeed Abdul Rahim,
Muhammad Abdullah Khalil Hussain ar-Rahayyal, and Muhammad Ahmed al-Munawar.
These images were created by the FBI Laboratory using age-progression
technology and original photographs obtained by the FBI in the year 2000.
The attack on Pan Am Flight 73 resulted in the murder of 20 passengers
and crew, including two Americans, the attempted murder of 379 passengers
and crew, and the wounding of more than 100 individuals on board.
This announcement is in coordination with the U.S. Department of State
Rewards for Justice Program, which is offering a reward of up to $5 million
each for information leading to the arrest and/or conviction of the alleged
hijackers. Each of these individuals is believed to have been a member
of the Abu Nidal Organization (ANO), previously on the U.S. Department
of State’s list of designated Foreign Terrorist Organizations. Each
suspect is currently on the FBI’s Most Wanted Terrorist List.
Anyone with information regarding these terrorists is asked to contact
the FBI, the nearest American Embassy or Consulate, or submit a tip on
https://tips.fbi.gov, which can remain anonymous.
Individuals on the FBI’s Most Wanted Terrorists List have been indicted
by sitting Federal Grand Juries in various jurisdictions in the United
States for the crimes reflected on their wanted posters. The indictments
currently listed on the posters allow them to be arrested and brought
to justice. Additional information regarding the FBI’s Most Wanted
Terrorists program can be found at:
