The rain slicked the D.C. streets last night, mirroring the unease settling over federal agents. They’re still hunting a ghost, a man named Liban Haji Mohamed, wanted for a crime that stretches far beyond the Beltway. He’s accused of funneling support – money, supplies, maybe even recruits – to the brutal terrorist group Al-Shabaab, a network of violence rooted in the deserts of East Africa. The feds unsealed the warrant back in 2015, but Mohamed vanished in 2012, slipping away with a U.S. passport and a one-way ticket to a life of shadows.
Mohamed is a large man, six feet tall, around 190 pounds, with dark brown eyes and black hair. Born in Somalia, he became a naturalized citizen, building a life in the Northern Virginia suburbs before allegedly turning towards extremism. He worked as a taxicab driver, navigating the city’s arteries, a seemingly ordinary existence masking a dangerous allegiance. Now, the FBI believes he didn’t just leave the country, he intended to *join* Al-Shabaab, to become a part of the very terror he allegedly supported. That makes him exceptionally dangerous.
The investigation has yielded little, a frustrating trail of dead ends. He’s a ghost in the machine, a reminder that the war on terror isn’t fought solely on distant battlefields. It’s fought here, in our cities, amongst us, with individuals radicalized and willing to support unimaginable violence. The Bureau considers him armed and dangerous, a man who has demonstrated a willingness to align himself with a ruthless organization.
The stakes are high, and the FBI is offering a substantial reward: up to $50,000 for information leading to his arrest and conviction. Fifty grand for a name, a sighting, anything that can bring this man to justice and prevent further potential harm. They need to know where he’s been, who he’s been with, and if he’s returned to these shores.
If you have any information, no matter how small, regarding the whereabouts of Liban Haji Mohamed, do not approach him. Contact the FBI immediately at their Washington D.C. Field Office or the nearest FBI branch. A tip could be the key to ending this hunt, and preventing a dangerous individual from carrying out his deadly agenda. Don’t look the other way.
