FBI issues terrorism alert

The FBI has issued an immediate terrorism alert about a Yemeni man who may be plotting an attack on the United States as soon as today.

The Bureau has put photographs of Fawaz Yahya al-Rabeei on its website with a warning that he is extremely dangerous.

The FBI issued the alert after interviewing a number of al-Qaeda suspects being held at an American military base in Cuba.

Since the 11 September attacks, the FBI has issued a number of alerts but this is the first time that a suspect has been named.
