These are considered the worst of the worst. From terrorists to crime lords and maybe even an illegal weapons dealer (I dunno, haven’t written that far yet) these guys are wanted on an international level.
1.Osama bin Laden- World Enemy #1
Wanted by the US since 2001 in connection with a whole shopping list of various terrorist activities, bin Laden is World Enemy #1. It is thought that he is in hiding in Afghanistan or possibly Pakistan. The harsh truth is he could be in Akron, Ohio for all the stumbling that’s been going on finding this guy.2.Alfonso Cano- Guerrilla LeaderColombia’s Administrative Department of Security issued warrants through Interpol to 179 countries for Cano.There is also a reward of up to US$500,000 for any information leading to the arrest of the FARC leader. The RARC-EP is a group of Colombian rebels responsible for distention and several score of human rights violations.3.Joaquín Guzmán Loera – Crime Lord

One of the biggest crimes associated with this guy is his name…WOW. Alimzhan Tursunovich Tokhtakhunov is a businessman and suspected criminal.
ATT (It’s just easier that way) is accused in relations with organized crime and bribing of figure skating judges in the 2002 Winter Olympics. His nickname is “Taiwanchik.”5. Dawood Ibrahim- Terrorist/Mafia Boss
Dawood Ibrahim is accused of an illegal empire. After the 1993 Bombay bombings, Ibrahim became India’s most wanted man.It is thought that Ibrahim maintains close links with al-Qaida’s Osama bin Laden.
The United States declared Dawood Ibrahim a “global terrorist” in 2003 and pursued the matter before the United Nations in an attempt to freeze his assets around the world and crack down on his operations.
It’s not just the U.S. that’s after him either- Indian and Russian intelligence agencies have implicated Ibrahim in several other terror attacks, including the November 2008 Mumbai attacks.6.Matteo Messina Denaro- Mafia Boss

According to June 2008 reports by a blogger calling himself African Press International(API), Kabuga was in hiding in Oslo, and might be seeking to turn himself in. So far there has been no real luck in locating him.8.Joseph Kony- Human Rights Violator/Dictator Wannabe
Joseph Kony is the head of the Lord’s Resistance Army, a guerrilla group that is engaged in a violent campaign to establish theocratic government in Uganda. Contrary to Christian teachings however, the LRA earned a reputation for its actions against the people of northern Uganda.Estimates state that the LRA has abducted an estimated 30,000 children and displaced 1.6 million people since its rebellion began in 1986.
