Joanne Chesimard aka Assata Shakur has been added to the ‘FBI’s Most Wanted Terrorist List.’ The list was created by the Bush Administration after the 9/11 attacks on the United States. Does she represent a ‘threat’ to national security? Shakur’s reward & safe return capture was doubled to $2,000,000.00. Why is she on this list? Well 40yrs ago Shakur murdered a law enforcement officer execution style, and is now smoking a cigar & living in Cuba. Dang, I guess she better stay in Cuba. I wonder if her her step-nephew/godson Tupac is there with her though.
