US offers $10 million reward for Syria rebel leader
|
 [ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] The Trump administration is offering a reward of up to $10 million for information about the whereabouts of the military leader of Syria’s al-Qaeda affiliated Nusra Front.
The State Department says the reward will be paid for information "leading to the identification or location" of Abu Mohammed al-Golani. The offer is the first under the department’s "Rewards for Justice Program" for a Nusra Front leader.
In a statement, the department said that the group under Golani’s leadership had committed numerous attacks in Syria, including many against civilians, since 2013.
Golani, a Syrian national believed to be in his 40s, has been identified by the US as a "specially designated global terrorist" since 2013 and subject to US and international sanctions, including an asset freeze and travel ban.
The Nusra Front is designated a "foreign terrorist organization" by the US. In 2016, it changed its name to the Fatah al-Sham Front and formally cut ties with al-Qaeda last year, but is still widely seen as being linked to the global terror network.
