The list includes Osama bin Laden, who had already been named by President Bush as wanted "dead or alive", bin Laden's two major deputies and several members of the al-Qaeda network who have already been implicated in earlier bombings overseas.
The two Egyptians, Ayman Zawahri and Mohamed Atef, who have been named as bin Laden's deputies, are among those indicted for the 1998 US embassy bombings in Kenya and Tanzania.
Interpol had also issued an arrest warrant for Zawahri since the hijackings that suggests he masterminded several terrorist operations in Egypt. He is accused of "criminal complicity and management for the purpose of committing premeditated murders".
Zawahri, who is a trained doctor, is the former chief of the Egyptian Islamic Jihad terrorist group that supposedly merged in 1998 with bin Laden's network. Atef, a former police official, is alleged to be a key military strategist who organises the training of terrorists on behalf of bin Laden.
Others on the list include those named last week by British Prime Minister Mr Tony Blair when he spelled out the evidence so far assembled to link the attack to bin Laden's network.
They include: Ahmed Khfaklan Ghailani and Sheikh Ahmed Salim Swedan, who Mr Blair said were al-Qaeda operatives who bought a truck used in the US embassy bombings in August 1998, Mustafa Mohamed Fadhil, another al-Qaeda operative, and Saif al-Adel, whom Mr Blair named as a senior member of al-Qaeda alleged to have provided training to tribes in Somalia. Also listed are suspects in the 1985 hijacking of TWA Flight 847, the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Centre and a foiled 1995 plot to bomb airliners in the Far East.
