Faker Ben Abdelaziz Boussora is a fugitive who is wanted as a suspect in plans for a possible terrorist attack to be conducted in Canada or the United States.
A Canadian citizen who was born in Tunisia, Boussora is 45-years old, stands 1.7 meters tall, weighs approximately 75 kilograms, and has black hair and dark eyes. He has protruding ears and is believed to have a serious illness of the pituitary gland that could cause weight loss. He is also known as Abu Yusif al Tunisi.
Boussora left Tunisia in 1988 to live in France, then immigrated to Canada in 1991. He became a Canadian citizen in 1999 and while living in Montreat attended the Assunna Mosque there. He left Canada in 1999 and traveled to Afghanistan where he received training from the Al-Qaida terror group. He is an associate of Tunisian terror suspect Abderraouf Jdey and the two may be traveling together.
Authorities are concerned that Boussora may attempt to return to Canada or the United States to plan or take part in a terror attack.
The Rewards for Justice program is offering a reward of up to $5 million for information leading to Boussora's arrest or prosecution.
The U.S. guarantees that all reports will be investigated and the identity of all informants will be kept confidential. If appropriate, the U.S. is prepared to protect informants by relocating them.
