The Trump administration announced on Thursday it is willing to pay up to $15 million for information leading to the capture of two senior al Qaeda leaders organizing terrorist operations across the Middle East.
The State Department has placed a $5 million bounty of Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, or AQAP, senior regional leader Khalid Saeed al-Batarfi and a $10 million bounty on AQAP leader Qasim al-Rimi.
The rewards are paid out for information leading to the identification, location, arrest, and conviction of the two leaders.
Al-Rimi took the reins as AQAP’s leader in June 2015, when he swore allegiance to al Qaeda head Ayman al-Zawairi “and called for renewed attacks against the United States,” according to the State Department.
Al-Rimi is responsible for organizing an assassination plot on the U.S. ambassador to Yemen, which led to his arrest and subsequent escape from prison in 2006.
“Al-Rimi is linked to the September 2008 attack on the U.S. Embassy in Sana’a that left 10 Yemeni guards, four civilians, and six terrorists dead, and the December 2009 attempted suicide bombing by ‘underwear bomber’ Umar Farouq Abdulmutallab aboard a U.S.-bound airliner,” according to the State Department.
