“At this point, one can only speculate about why the state has renewed its efforts to capture Shakur. But what’s clear is that they’re serious about it. In addition to offering a $2 million reward for her capture, the FBI has also put up billboards around New Jersey.”

This literally serves no purpose other than to frighten and convey a message to others, as Angela Davis points out.  Assata has been living in Cuba for thirty years, this definitely runs deeper than her charges.
