WANTED BY THE FBI

 

Look Closely. Do You Recognize This Man Or His Son?

Hilal Hasan Ali JaafarMohammed Ali Helal Jaafar
 

Hilal Hasan Ali Jaafar is wanted for international parental kidnapping. Back in January of 2006, Hilal allegedly abducted his young son Mohamed Ali Helal Jaafar, while they were overseas in Oman. When Mohamed's mother was ready to return home in the United States, her husband wouldn't release their son. And, according to 2006 court records, Jafaar's wife was granted a divorce and named sole residential parent and legal custodian of Mohamed.

Here's a few things you may be interested in knowing about Hilal. He has more than 10 aliases and speaks Arabic, Farsi, English, Indian, Turkish (limited) and Al-Lawati (local dialect in Oman region). Hilal occasionally wears glasses and has a small mole/birthmark on his left cheek, though you can't see it under his facial hair. Additionally, he is the Imam for a mosque near Muscat, Oman: Masjid Ibrahim Al-Khalil, Ghoubra, Muscat, Oman.

To learn more about Mohamed, who has been separated from his mother for 4 years, click on the link (Hilal Jaafar poster) below.

CONTACT: If you have any information concerning Hilal or Mohamed Jaafar, please contact your local FBI office or the nearest American Embassy or Consulate.
