the armed overthrow of the United States government through a platform provided by the Castro. regime, an ally of other rogue governments and a provider of safe haven for terrorists. In 1982, the Cuban government was formally designated by the U.S. Department of State as a state sponsor of terrorism. Chesimard is a domestic terrorist with international influence and member of a larger multinational community of terrorists residing in Cuba. The Revolutionary Armed Forces of Columbia (FARC)and National Liberation Army (ELN) guerillas; the Puerto Rican Macheteros; the Spanish Basque ETA; the Palestinian Liberation Army; and various Syrian and Iranian backed elements are among a diverse group of terrorist organizations whose members have been granted safe haven in Cuba. Current credible intelligence suggests that b7D Source reporting indicates Chesimard b7E Cuba continues to maintain strong ties with countries such as Iran, Syria, and Sudan, all of which share the U.S. Department of State designation as state sponsors of'terrorism.

The New Jersey State Police and the Federal Bureau of Investigation are currently organizing a coordinated media campaign to recognize the anniversary of the murder of Trooper Foerster and. officially announce the inclusion of Chesinmard on the FBI Most Wanted Terrorist List. We believe that an announcement of the reward increase to $5,000,000 to coincide with this campaign is critical to the mission of enhancing multi-agency initiatives and strengthening ongoing investigative efforts to return Chesimard to the United States. Currently, the FBl's Most Wanted Terrorism List includes 31 terrorists. Of those 31, 23 have been designated with rewards of $5,000,000. The challenges of conducting this investigation within the boarders of a designated state-. sponsor of terrorism are unique. They are magnified by the operational clinate inside of Cuba.
