Dear Attorney General Gonzales,

I would like to inform you that an individual named Addisu Legesse, who is the Deputy Prime Minister of Ethiopia, is currently in the United States. Mr Legesse is Ethiopia’s Al Zawahiri. He is the second in command of Ethiopia’s terrorist regime that has kidnapped, tortured, and gunned down tens of thousands of innocent Ethiopians. The crimes of Mr Legesse’s regime have been documented by the United States Department of State, the European Union, Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch and several other international institutions. As the chief law enforcement officer of the United States, we believe that you have the responsibility to take action against criminals like Addisu Legesse. On behalf of Mr Legesse’s victims, I appeal to you to detain and prosecute this criminal to the full extent of the law.

Sincerely,
Elias Kifle
