Who is Faker Ben Abdelazziz Boussora?

A Canadian citizen, Faker Ben Abdelazziz Boussora is an alleged al-Qaeda militant, "being sought in connection with possible terrorist activity within the United States", with a US$5 million bounty on his head by American authorities. He also went by the name Abu Yusif al-Tunisi.

In early 2002, he was the subject of an international manhunt, one week after his Montreal companion Abderraouf Jdey was identified as the fifth person seen on a videotape found in Afghanistan, pledging to die as a shaheed. Together with Jdey, Boussora was placed on the Federal Bureau of Investigation's newly-created Most Wanted Terrorists Seeking Information list, along with the other four subjects of the videotape, even though Boussora was not otherwise connected to the group.

Although only Ramzi bin al-Shibh was ever captured from among the six original names on the list, only Jdey and Boussora remain on the FBI Seeking Information - War on Terrorism list.
