US Terrorist Elmer Pratt, Dead in Tanzania

Elmer Pratt, aka Geronimo ji-Jaga a high ranking member of the Black Panther
terrorist organization, died June 2, 2011, of a heart attack, in Tanzania.

Pratt was arrested in 1970 for murder and kidnapping.

Pratt was convicted in 1972 of the murder of the 1968 murder of elementary
school teacher, Caroline Olsen, and not even Johnnie Cochran could get him
off.  In 1997, under the Clinton Administration, the sentence was vacated.
Its "Justice" Department later paid him $1.75 million along with the $2.75
million paid by the LAPD on the premise that he was identified as the
murderer, by an FBI informant.

Pratt used his two tours in Viet Nam to attain the title of "Minister of
Defense" in an organization, after he used his GI Bill at UCLA, that
actively used violence against the American Government.  His pregnant wife
was murdered in a turf war for control of the organization in 1971.

Pratt was a vocal advocate for fellow Black Panther, Wesley Cook, aka
Abu-Jamal, a convicted murderer(12/8/81) of a Philadelphia Police Officer,
featured on "Democracy Now" and German Marxist publication, "Junge Welt,"
and a regular contributor to NPR.  Cook's criminal career began as young as
14.  Cook is a popular figure in the Black Panther, Communist, and muslim
convert circles.  Cook and Pratt met in the Black Panthers terrorist
organization.  While in prison, Pratt has been given an Honorary Law Degree
from the New College of California School of Law, recorded the keynote
address to graduating class of Evergreen State College and the commencement
speech at Antioch College.

Pratt was the godfather of Tupac Shakur.
