Page "Assata Shakur" Paragraph 13

As of February 17, 1972, when Shakur was identified as one of four BLA members on a short trip to Chattanooga, Tennessee, Shakur was wanted for questioning ( along with Robert Vickers, Twyman Meyers, Samuel Cooper, and Paul Stewart ) in relation to police killings, a Queens bank robbery, and the grenade attack.

Shakur was announced as one of six suspects ( pictured left ) in the ambushing of four policemen — two in Jamaica, Queens, and two in Brooklyn — on January 28, 1973, despite the fact that the assailants were identified as male.
