Tupac’s aunt on FBI’s terror list

NEW JERSEY: The aunt of rap icon Tupac Shakur has become the first woman to land on the FBI’s list of most wanted terrorists. Cop killer Joanne Chesimard, 65 - who was also reportedly Tupac’s godmother - was convicted in 1977 of murdering a police officer, Trooper Werner Foerster, in New Jersey, US. She was jailed but escaped in a dramatic break-out and later fled to Cuba. The FBI have now doubled the reward for her capture, placing a $2million (£1.3m) bounty on her head. Special agent Aaron Ford said: “Today, on the anniversary of Trooper Werner Foerster’s death, we want the public to know that we will not rest until this fugitive is brought to justice”. –TS
