Joanne Chesimard has become the first woman added to the FBI's Most Wanted Terrorists List. Chesimard shot and killed state trooper Werner Foerster during a shootout on the New Jersey Turnpike 40-years ago.
Werner Foerster
She was a member of the Black Liberation Army at the time of the murder.
According to a state police account, "Foerster was severely wounded in his right arm and abdomen and then executed with his own service weapon on the roadside. Chesimard's jammed handgun was found at Foerster's side."
Chesimard was caught and sentenced to life in prison for the crime in 1977. Two years later she escaped from prison and eventually fled to Cuba where she received political asylum. She lives there under the name Assata Shakur
"I was convicted by...I don't even want to call it a trial, it was lynching, by an all-white jury," Chesimard told BET in 2001. "I had nothing but contempt for the system of justice under which I was tried."
Law enforcement sees it differently.
"Joanne Chesimard is a domestic terrorist who murdered a law enforcement officer execution-style," said Aaron Ford, special agent in charge of the FBI's Newark Division.
The now 65-years old Chesimard is the godmother of deceased rap icon Tupac Shakur. A reward of $2 million is being offered for her safe return.
"We want her to come back here and face justice and serve out her sentence," New Jersey Attorney General Jeffrey Chiesa said.

Kobe Bryant and his mom aren't seeing eye to eye on a proposed sale of some of his memorabilia. As a result they have wound up in court.
According to TMZ, Pamela Bryant was paid a $450,000 advance by Goldin Auctions of New Jersey for the right to sell a hundreds of Kobe's possessions, which include game and practice jerseys from his days at Lower Merion High School, trophies, a 2000 signed All-Star game ball, his varsity high school letters, a Lakers jacket and shorts plus more.
Pamela claims her son gave her the items, but Kobe doesn't agree and is attempting to block the sale.
Goldin has filed a lawsuit, naming Kobe as the defendant. They are asking a judge to declare Pamela the owner of the items so they proceed with the sale.
**UPDATE** May 7th
The feud between Kobe Bryant and his mother has taken another ugly turn. The basketball star has filed a countersuit against Goldin Auctions.
Bryant claimsin the suit that Pamela Bryant stole some of the memorabilia she plans on selling from his home and refuses to return the rest that he left at her home when he moved out according to TMZ
At the center of the battle is money. Kobe feels like he's been more than generous to his parents over the years. He offered to buy his parents a nice home in Las Vegas recently for considerably less than a million dollars. They turned down the offer because they wanted a bigger crib.
Pam is angry because her son bought his wife's mother a $3.2 million dollar pad in Newport Beach, California. After that house sold, he bought her another multi-million dollar crib. Pam feels like Kobe tried to shortchange his own flesh and blood, according to TMZ.
Kobe drew a line in the sand and said enough is enough.
It's pretty sad to see this situation play out in front of the media.

We appreciate all the concern and fan support and Araab is looking forward to a speedy recovery and returning to the stage as soon as he can."
Araab's manager, Duke Da God, tweeted out a picture of his client in a hospital bed surrounded by well wishers.
Avatar Darko, an artist Araab has been working with also tweeted about the incident.
"Pray for my bro Araab! He just got shot but he'll be alright! He's strong!," Avatar wrote on the social networking site.

Iggy Azalea recently sat down with Hard Knock TV for an in depth interview. The first question Nick Huff Barili asked her was about Scarface's comments during his Hard Knock interview that hip hop had become a white person's game now.
"I feel like we losing it," Face says. "I feel like the people that are in control of what Hip Hop does is so fucking White and so fucking Jewish and so they don't give a fuck about what the culture and the craft really is about. Let me say this sh*t right because I want this to be as offensive as I can f*ckin' make it for these old-a$$ punks that's running these record labels that's in the powerful positions to dictate what the black community hears and listens to. I f*cking hate that sh*t. That sh*t p*sses me off," Face continued. "There's no f*cking way that you can tell me that it's not a conspiracy against the blacks in hip hop. You put out f*cking records that make us look stupid. You make us look dumb," Face said. "You brainwash a generation of hip hoppers with this f*cking crud and then when these other rappers come out, splitting it down the middle, these other rappers' s*it sound like 'Wow!' Y'all look great!' 'Y'all look stupid!' Then mothaf*ckers start going over here and pretty soon, Hip hop is white now."
Iggy made an interesting counterpoint to Face's argument.
"You can have a million white men that are executives in a building, but that doesn't make a culture a color," Iggy said. "That's because they can sell you whatever they want but unless you buy it doesn't mean anything. It's not old white men creating the content. And it's not old white men buying the content either. I think what shapes the culture is who is consuming it. That's people of all different colors. That's a great thing. I think this idea that rap should should be black or rap should be this or that is worrying to me. It's almost like segregation. Why would you want to segregate cultures? Whatever it is that's getting money put into it is 100% I believe and can testify to the fact it's dictated by what you consume, what you listen to, what you click on, what you like, what you comment on, and that's just that"
Who makes a more valid point? Is Face just not seeing the natural progression of the art form? Has Iggy been in the game long enough to argue against what a 25-year industry legend has to say? Let us know what you think in the comment section below.
