The World’s 10 Most Wanted Criminals, by Forbes

New Delhi: Forbes magazine has come out with another Top 10 list, but this one is unusual. It has nothing to do with the world’s rich and famous people — the likes of whom the magazine usually keeps track of.

This time around, Forbes has released a list of the world’s Top 10 Most Dreaded Criminals. Check out the list of top 10 criminals after the jump !

And what’s more, India-born Dawood Ibrahim figures at number four. The list also mentions possible hideouts of Dawood — who has been declared a global terrorist by the US — in Pakistan.

The international, most-wanted roster is headed by al-Qaeda chief Osama bin Laden, who, the magazine says, is rumoured to be hiding somewhere in Pakistan’s Waziristan area.

Others on the list include a Mexican druglord, a Russian mobster, and a Ugandan guerrilla commander.

Osama Bin Laden :

The most wanted man in the world is believed to be hiding in Pakistan, perhaps in the Waziristan region. U.S. President George W. Bush has said Bin Laden is wanted dead or alive. But for six years, Bin Laden has been able to evade the largest manhunt in international history by sticking to the unruly tribal areas along the Pakistan-Afghanistan border.

Bin Laden, the leader of Al Qaeda, is the world’s biggest terrorist. He has been indicted in federal court in New York for the 1998 bombings of the U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania that killed more than 200 people. Bin Laden has also been charged for conspiring to kill Americans outside the U.S. He has claimed responsibility for the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks on the U.S. that killed 3,000 people, including both Americans and foreign nationals. The State Department has put a $25 million reward on his head. The Saudi-born Bin Laden is probably 51 years old.

Here is the Top 10 List :

1. Osama Bin Laden ( Afghanistan )
2. Joaquin Guzman ( Mexico )
3. Alimzhan Tokhtakhounov ( Russia )
4. Dawood Ibrahim Kaskar ( Indian )
5. Matteo Messina Denaro ( Italian )
6. Felicien Kabuga ( Africa )
7. Pedro Antonio Marin ( Colombia )
8. Joseph Kony
9. James “Whitey” Bulger ( American )
10. Omid Tahvili ( Persia )
