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.
In 1999, the most notorious suspect ever in American history, Osama bin Laden, was added to the list for the 1998 embassy attacks.
For convenient reference, the wanted suspect's sequence number and date of entry on the FBI list appear below, whenever possible.
Osama bin Laden was the leader of al-Qaeda and was wanted in connection with the August 7, 1998, bombings of the United States embassies, Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, and Nairobi, Kenya.
Bin Laden and al-Qaeda is alleged to be responsible for the October 12, 2000, attack on the USS Cole off the coast of Yemen.
The 1990s version of the logo previously used by the FBI as the main title for the web site page of the group of ten fugitives. This version of the logo came into use by the FBI beginning in the 1990s, and lasted at least through 1998. By 2005, it had been reworked into
the modern logo now seen
at the top of the group of ten fugitives page. 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.
Red and black headers used by the FBI on 1990s top ten
wanted posters
. This red and black 1990s version of the headers appeared on FBI wanted posters with blue text in the upper left corner reading "FBI Fugitive Publicity." These two headers were replaced by the modern blue border version of the poster header some time before 2002.
