US offers multi-million dollar rewards for information on Shaboob leaders
|
 WASHINGTON -- The U.S. government is offering new rewards for information on the whereabouts of six leaders of the Somali militant group al-Shabab.
| So what. Where will be put them when we catch them, Gitmo? |
A reward of up to $6 million is being offered for information on al-Shabab’s top leader, Abu Ubaidah. He was named head of al-Shabab in September of last year, after the group’s longtime emir, Ahmed Abdi Godane, was killed in a U.S. drone strike.
Rewards of up to $5 million have been authorized for three other high-ranking leaders – Mahad Karate, Ma’Alim Daud and Hassan Afgooye. Karate, also known as Abdirahman Mohamed Warsame, allegedly played a key role in the April 2 assault that killed 148 people at Kenya’s Garissa University College.
| How big a reward are the Kenyans offering? Isn't that enough? |
Daud is said to be responsible for al-Shabab’s operations against the Somali government and Western targets, while Afgooye oversees a fundraising network for al-Shabab activities.
The United States is offering rewards of up to $3 million for information on Maalim Salman and Ahmed Iman Ali. Salman is said to lead al-Shabab’s African foreign terrorist fighters, while Ali has allegedly recruited Kenyan youth and raised funds for the group.
The offers are part of the U.S. State Department’s Rewards for Justice program. According to its website, the program has paid out $125 million to more than 80 people who provided information that prevented international terrorist attacks or helped bring perpetrators of previous attacks to justice.
| That's nice, but after all that money we still have terrorists to catch... |
The U.S. continues to offer rewards for other wanted al-Shabab leaders, including Mukhtar Robow and Abdullahi Yare.
