Saddam Hussein was one of the most
murderous tyrants of the 20th century
they fought the law and the law won well
most of the time welcome to
watchmojo.com and today we’re counting
down our picks for the top 10
international manhunts for this list
we’re looking at those famous manhunts
that spanned multiple countries and made
headlines around the world due to the
extensive resources used and the
criminals infamous acts of atrocity
because we’re only focusing on
international manhunts local ones like
the Boston Marathon bombers the Zodiac
killer and the Unabomber will all be
excluded as those were limited to one
specific country for almost 20 years his
seemingly random bombings have killed
and maimed innocent people across the
country
number 10 Luka Magnotta but what would
push anyone to do this and how did he go
from internet wannabe to the object of
an international manhunt and here we
thought Canadians were supposed to be
polite last seen on May 24th 2012
Chinese international student Lin Jun
was captured by Magnotta and dismembered
and a video depicting Magnotta
committing the murder was posted online
to a gore website the video lasts 11
amoral minutes someone stabs the corpse
repeatedly with an ice pick then
dismembers the body with a knife various
parts of Lin’s body were mailed across
the country with his left foot going to
the headquarters of Canada’s
Conservative Party and his right foot
and hand going to to Canadian elementary
schools the head is the body part that
is still missing
and believe me Erin police too are very
careful when they bring up these
gruesome details they are so graphic and
they are obviously thinking about the
family when they do so after fleeing
Canada Magnotta travelled through Europe
where he was eventually apprehended in
Berlin after an Interpol red notice was
issued what was he doing reading news
stories about himself at an internet
cafe all policemen went inside and asked
the person for his identification
he gave them a false name
but he got very nervous number nine
Radovan Karadzic carriage each is a
co-founder of bosnia serb democratic
party and was the first president of the
republic of srpska serving from 1992 to
1996 rather man carriages saw an
opportunity to reinvent himself as a
militant nationalist leader riding on
this wave of growing Serbian nationalism
that doesn’t sound so bad but just wait
during the Bosnian war between 1992 and
1995
Karadzic committed various war crimes
against non-serbs including genocide and
is thought to have murdered up to 7500
Muslims he fled to Belgrade and worked
in a private clinic under the alias dr.
dragon David and subsequently lived in
Vienna Austria under the name Petter
goomahs during the 13-year long manhunt
form nobody not even friends and close
relatives eula Karadzic and dr. damage
were the same person and his capture
sounds like it was ripped straight from
a screenplay
Karadzic was allegedly taken into
custody by Belgrade locals who figured
out his real identity and wanted to
claim the reward for his capture
Karadzic and melodic are responsible for
capturing 8000 people men and boys who
were then killed in the most brutal way
number 8 I’m n Mohammed Rabie
al-zawahiri well I can coneja Sonia – FC
host and she didn’t either Haase and
Lana inaudible you had Cavalli Mumia who
the hawk bomb he’s an Egyptian born
Muslim the current leader of the global
militant organization al-qaeda and he’s
still at large to this day as I won
Harry
the man is an aristocrat he comes from a
major Egyptian Saudi family and he
thinks that you know he he is the he’s a
visionary I’m an Mohammed Rabie Izawa he
is responsible for a host of atrocities
including a car bombing on the Egyptian
embassy in Pakistan he was listed under
indictment by the United States
government for his role in the infamous
1998 US embassy bombings however he’s
perhaps best known for his many videos
porting heinous actions such as the 9/11
attacks highlighting their desire to
capture as Owyhee D as of February 2016
the u.s. Department of State was
offering up to twenty five million
dollars for information leading to his
capture in a newly released audio
message al-qaeda’s leader al Zawahiri
takes aim directly to Isis leader al
Baghdadi
calling Baghdadi’s Islamic state
illegitimate number seven saddam hussein
that fear that he evoked from these
people
he enjoyed saddam hussein served as the
fifth president of iraq raining from
july 1979 to april 2003 however his
presidency was a terrible time for some
citizens of Iraq as his dictatorship was
responsible for hundreds of thousands of
deaths Iraq lost control of portions of
his country portions of his airspace but
the military was allowed to remain
strong and Saddam was able to to keep
control of the government in January
2002 American President George W Bush
announced that he would collapse the
Iraqi government due to its alleged
possession of weapons of mass
destruction after the 2003 American
invasion of Iraq Hussein lost his
control over the government and went
into hiding and this is it this is the
last thing that saddam saw as a free man
he was eventually captured in December
2003 by American forces at a farm near
Tikrit after nine months of topping the
most-wanted iraqis list he was hanged on
December 20th 2006 this is judgment day
for Saddam Hussein the verdict is in
guilty as charged
number six Adolf Eichmann this city this
country the entire world is under a
state of heightened anticipation
the stakes could not be higher a
well-known lieutenant colonel in Nazi
Germany’s SS organization Adolf Eichmann
was one of the leading orchestrators of
the mass deportation of Jews to
extermination camps during the Holocaust
four days later Eichmann was sent to
Vienna to rid Austria of its Jewish
population after being captured by
Americans Eichmann escaped custody and
briefly hid in Germany before fleeing to
Argentina becoming department head at
mercedes-benz his capture was the result
of an emigrated half Jew whose daughter
began dating Eichmann son Klaus in 1956
Klaus frequently bragged about his
father’s not be past and after Mossad
authorities were alerted Eichmann was
captured four years after the
investigation began I want to know about
your friends who helped you escape from
Europe who supplied you with false
papers how did you get into organs that
was a long time ago sir
number five Edward Snowden if I end up
in Chains and Guantanamo I can move with
that hero whistleblower dissident
patriot and traitor all of these labels
have been applied to Edward Snowden a
former CIA employee he’s the man
responsible for copying classified
information from the NSA and publicly
releasing it in 2013 if I get arrested I
get arrested we were able to get the
information that needs to get out how
the Department of Justice charged
Snowden with violating the Espionage Act
of 1917 and theft of government property
in May of 2013
Snowden fled from Hawaii to Hong Kong
courtesy of WikiLeaks founder Julian
Assange to protect Snowden from the
imminent backlash in June of that same
year he travelled to Russia where he was
eventually granted asylum for three
years they monitored the Internet in
ways I consider inappropriate but my
day-to-day life you know it’s a it’s
much better than prison
well he’s currently looking for
sanctuary elsewhere the only thing
that’s certain is that he will continue
to divide public opinion it was the next
step over when do you think Google
public arose oh I think it’s pretty soon
I mean we
the reaction this escalated more quickly
I think pretty much as soon as they
start trying to make this about me which
should be any day now number four
Muammar al-gaddafi Gadhafi having been a
Bedouin one of the foundations of his
personality was the great underdog
rising to power after helping
orchestrate the 1969 Libyan coup d’etat
Muammar al-gaddafi rose to power as the
primary leader and governor of Libya
from 1969 to 2011 Gaddafi like so many
dictators lived in perpetual fear of
assassination but Gadhafi took his war
with the opposition outside Libya
serving as the brotherly leader of the
great socialist people’s Libyan Arab
Jamahiriya Gaddafi soon became infamous
due to his supposed support of terrorism
and his various violations of human
rights the country’s strained
relationship with the West eventually
resulted in the 1986 bombing of Libya
when our citizens are abused or attacked
anywhere in the world on the direct
orders of a hostile regime we will
respond during the Arab Spring of 2011
rebel militias pushed back against
Gaddafi and he went on the run
NATO bombers eventually attacked his
convoy and Gaddafi was taken prisoner
and subsequently beaten and killed it’s
still unclear if they hit Gaddafi’s car
but when rebels pour in they tell the
BBC’s Gabrielle Gatehouse he was hiding
in this drainage pipe number 3 el chapo
guzman born Joaquin Guzman this drug
lord is arguably the most influential
and powerful drug kingpin of all time
too many in Sinaloa el chapo is not just
a drug trafficker he’s a hero they see
him as a modern-day Robin Hood the DEA
has noted that his reach has exceeded
that of Pablo Escobar and the Chicago
Crime Commission named him public enemy
number one a distinction not given out
since Al Capone in 1930
he’s completely daring he’s nuts he
clones border patrol cars after being
captured in 1993 El Chapo escaped from
prison in 2001 by bribing security
guards wanted by the American and Mex
in governments he was arrested by
Mexican authorities in 2014 it was a
stunning sight the most powerful drug
lord in the world in handcuffs after
more than a decade as a wanted man he
escaped prison again in 2015 via a
secret tunnel system before being
recaptured in January of 2016 by the
Mexican Navy
sounds like the script to a killer TV
show number 2 Pablo Escobar yo soy Pablo
amigo es Cobar Gaviria hizo Destin in
toes la Dozo si ustedes no pueden hacer
una puta so la mierda en el departamento
de antioquia sin que yo mint eres el
Chapo’s power may arguably reach further
but never discount the achievements of
Pablo Escobar at the height of his power
Escobar was supplying up to 80% of
America’s cocaine and was personally
worth 30 billion dollars but as is often
the case with criminals
Escobar met a violent end I remember the
police always telling me he says how
here we’re not in this to get dope we’re
not in this to seize money we’re in here
to kill Pablo Escobar why it’s a revenge
it’s personal he escaped from his own
personal prison in 1992 and was pursued
by the Colombian national police task
force the search bloc eventually the
United States also joined the hunt with
Colombian officials and on December 2nd
1993 Escobar was shot and killed during
a shootout on the Medellin rooftops he
always mentioned that from the 15
bullets in his gun 14 would be for his
enemies and the last one for him the
rest is Netflix history no myself as
well Wow
before we hunt down our top pick here
are some honorable mentions the entire
police force in America’s second largest
city essentially held hostage to one man
who’s allegedly bent on revenge the
suspected ringleader of the horrific
attack in Paris is believed to be Abdel
Hamid of
food he is a Belgian national in his 20s
who lives in the ‘mo’lympic district of
Brussels let me remind you Ali Hassan
Salameh he invented Black September he
is the architect of the Munich murders
number one Osama bin Laden and I’m gonna
find out once and for all where in the
world is Osama bin Laden easily the most
famous manhunt in history the search for
Osama bin Laden has been well documented
in both the news and Hollywood bin Laden
was taking the global war to America
the Americans understood that al Qaeda
could attack at any place and at any
time the founder of al Qaeda bin Laden
was responsible for massive attacks on
civilian targets and claimed
responsibility for the 9/11 attacks so
you have no idea rather write up another
one another plane just hit oh my god
another plane has just hit another
building go right into the middle of it
explosion for ten years bin Laden’s
capture was of the utmost importance to
the FBI and a 25 million dollar bounty
was placed on his head after about 30
seconds of discussion he kind of
listened to me ramble on and then the
first thing he said was I don’t think
you guys can handle it you can’t handle
al Qaeda in these mountains
it took 10 years before he was finally
located in Abbottabad Pakistan in 2011
Barack Obama famously ordered operation
Neptune spear and bin Laden’s compound
was stormed x02 moving at X ray bin
Laden was dead a matter of minutes into
the operation and so ended a decade of
searching just based on a level of
threat of him nots running and
likelihood of him having a vest I
engaged in my shot of twice and twice in
the head he fell on the floor I shot him
one more time and I kill him do you
