FBI Ten Most Wanted Fugitives, 1990s

The FBI's Ten Most Wanted Fugitives during the 1990s is a list, maintained for a fifth decade, of the Ten Most Wanted Fugitives of the United States's Federal Bureau of Investigation.

FBI 10 Most Wanted Fugitives to begin the 1990s

The FBI in the past has identified individuals by the sequence number in which each individual has appeared on the list. Some individuals have even appeared twice, and often a sequence number was permanently assigned to an individual suspect who was soon caught, captured, or simply removed, before his or her appearance could be published on the publicly released list. In those cases, the public would see only gaps in the number sequence reported by the FBI. For convenient reference, the wanted suspect's sequence number and date of entry on the FBI list appear below, whenever possible.

In contrast, this early 1990s logo had appeared in the center of the group of ten fugitives on the FBI's web page, with the 10 fugitive photos and names evenly spaced all around the logo.

The following fugitives made up the the top Ten list to begin the 1990s:

FBI headlines in decade of 1990s

As a decade, the 1990s list stands out above others for its inclusion of a large number of highly notorious suspects, including several major terrorists, foreign and domestic. 1999 includes entry on the top 10 list of the most notorious suspect ever in American history, Osama bin Laden, for the 1998 embassy attacks. Of course, bin Laden's later attack on 9/11 three years later dwarfed that 1998 event. In 1993 and 1994, the FBI was scrutinized for its role in the Ruby Ridge and Waco incidents.

Though it may seem a bit peculiar that so many 1990s terrorists appear on this top 10 list of fugitives, it should be pointed out that it was not until the aftermath of 9/11 in 2001 that the FBI also began to maintain a separate list of Most Wanted Terrorists.
