America's 'most wanted' Africans

More than half the suspects were born in Africa

The FBI has published a list of 22 suspected terrorists wanted in connection with crimes committed since 1985.

A reward of up to $5m is offered for information leading to their arrest.

Among them are seven Egyptians, a Libyan and four men from the East African coast - all wanted for their alleged part in the bombing of the American embassies in Nairobi and Dar es Salaam.

The chances of finding America's public enemy number one - Osama Bin Laden - must be slim but some of the men on the list come from small societies, where people are well known to each other.

And the generous rewards on offer will mean that a lot of people will be looking closely at their neighbours from now on.
