Confused FBI agents continue search for Harlem Sheikh

Filed · 1545

NEW YORK, NY - Members of the Federal Bureau of Investigation have reported that members of the New York field office are still attempting to target a mysterious terrorist known only as the “Harlem Sheikh.”

Agents were first alerted to the threat after several cell phone intercepts included vague references such as, “Harlem Sheikh is blowing that shit up at the Alamo,” ”I’ve never seen so many fucking hits on a video before,” and “Damn, muthafuckas are tearing it up boy.”

In a statement, Special Agent Stan Johnson said, “For obvious reasons we have declared Harlem Sheikh as armed and dangerous, and warn folks that he should be approached with extreme caution. It appears Mr. Sheikh has been working in collaboration with ‘DJ Dinar’ and ‘Sho’nuff - The Shogun of Harlem.' Their hand in terror has been described as widespread, devastating, and operating in pretty much just about every major city in the U.S.”
