One of the world\u2019s most wanted terrorists, with a $5 million bounty on his head and a suspected desire to attack the United States with nuclear weapons, has been traveling across the Middle East recently with relative impunity, courtesy of a Saudi diplomatic passport, a U.S. intelligence source tells The Daily Beast.<\/p>\n

Five-foot-four Adnan Gulshair el Shukrijumah was selected after 9\/11 by Osama bin Laden to be the terror group\u2019s next Mohamed Atta for any second wave of attacks on America. The Saudi-born el-Shukrijumah was the son of a radical Muslim cleric who moved his family to the U.S. in 1985 and settled eventually in Miramar, Florida, a Fort Lauderdale suburb. There he became friends with Jos\u00e9 Padilla, who was later arrested as an \u201cenemy combatant,\u201d and also with Mandhai and Shueyb Mossa Jokhan, who were jailed for plotting to blow up Florida power plants, a National Guard armory, and Jewish businesses. Adnan attended flight schools in Florida and Oklahoma, and within al Qaeda was dubbed Jafar al-Tayyar (\u201cJafar the Pilot\u201d).<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
