with a Reward For Justice Offer Announced
The Federal Bureau of Investigation announced today that four individuals who have
been charged for their role in a 1986 hijacking have been placed on the FBI¡¯s Most
Wanted Terrorists list. This action is undertaken in coordination with a joint
announcement with the U.S. Department of State that the Rewards for Justice Program is
offering a reward of up to $5 million each for information leading to the arrest and/or
conviction of the four individuals.
The following is the text of a joint Rewards for Justice ¨C Federal Bureau of Investigation
statement on a reward offer for information about the hijackers of Pan Am Flight 73:

information leading to the arrest and/or conviction of Wadoud Muhammad Hafiz
al-Turki , Jamal Saeed Abdul Rahim, Muhammad Abdullah Khalil Hussain arRahayyal, and Muhammad Ahmed al-Munawar ¡ª all believed to have been
members of the Abu Nidal terrorist organization.
These four suspects have been charged in the District of Columbia for their role in
the September 5, 1986 hijacking of Pan American World Airways Flight 73
during a stop in Karachi, Pakistan. The attack resulted in the murder of at least 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.
