First woman on FBI most wanted terrorists

First woman on the list of U.S. terrorist lives in Cuba. Joanne Chesimard, accused of murdering a police officer 40 years ago, was included in the list of FBI most wanted terrorists. The announcement was made by the office of the FBI (U.S. Federal Police) to Newark (New Jersey) on the 40th anniversary of the murder of Werner Foerster, an officer during a traffic stop on a road.
In 1973, Joanne and several accomplices were traveling in a car in New Jersey when a police patrol stopped them. She responded with gunfire that killed Foerster and wounded his companion.

Joanne was later arrested in 1977 and sentenced to life imprisonment, but escaped from prison in 1979 and reappeared in 1984 in Cuba, where she received political asylum and still believe that lies, according to the FBI said today at a news conference.

The fugitive, who also uses the name Assata Shakur and is the Godmother of the late Tupac Shakur is already 65 and considered a "domestic terrorist," said Special Agent Aaron Ford, head of the FBI office in Newark.
