WASHINGTON, United States: The United States is offering al-Qaeda rewards of up to USD 10 million for information on senior figures whom the State Department says are based in Iran.
The State Department’s Rewards for Justice programme announced the offer Friday and accused Al-Qaeda of using Iran as a safe haven for operations against the United States and its allies.
The poster names Sayf al-Adl, Abd al-Rahman al-Maghrebi and Yasin al-Suri among the senior al-Qaeda figures sought by the programme.
The State Department released the announcement on the 25th anniversary of the September 11, 2001, attacks. “These individuals are senior leaders within al-Qaida.”
