Joanne Deborah Chesimard

The FBI is considering possible domestic terrorism charges against the man accused of shooting a guard at the conservative Family Research Council.

The FBI defines domestic terrorism as "Americans attacking Americans based on U.S.-based extremist ideologies."

It's currently hunting down seven people charged with such crimes. Five are women.

A Communist wanted for allegedly blinding a Port Authority police officer.

Donna Joan Borup threw an acidic substance into the face of a Port Authority police officer during an anti-apartheid protest at JFK in 1981, the FBI claims.

At the time, Borup, a graphic designer, belonged to a Marxist-Leninist group called the May 19th Communist Organization that pushed for an armed revolution against the U.S. government, according to the FBI.

Borup failed to appear for her May 1982 trial and has been on the run ever since. She wears baggy clothes, had a photographic memory, and is considered to be quite smart.



A member of the Black Liberation Army accused of killing a state trooper "execution-style."

Joanne Deborah Chesimard and two accomplices opened fire on state troopers during a traffic stop in May 1973, according to the FBI.

One trooper was wounded, while the other was shot dead at point-blank range.

Chesimard – a member of the Black Liberation Army – was sentenced to prison in 1977 but escaped two years later. The FBI believes she lives in Cuba.



An animal rights activist accused of arson.

Joseph Mahmoud Dibee attempted to destroy an energy facility and deliberately set fires as part of his activist work with the Earth Liberation Front and the Animal Liberation Front, according to the FBI.

In August 2009, The New York Times reported Dibee still had a pilot's license because the Transportation Security Administration doesn't compare the FBI's most-wanted list with the Federal Aviation Administration's list of pilots.

At the time, Dibee was trying to sell his plane on the Internet, the Times reported.

The FBI believes he fled to Syria.
