What would you do with KSh 600 million? Well, the US government is offering the financial reward for information regarding the location of leaders from the terrorist group al-Shabaab.
In particular, the bounty – six million dollars US (approximately KSh 600 million) – is payment for anyone who provides information that will lead to the Abu Ubaidah thought to have been appointed leader of al-Shabaab in September, 2014.
The US is also targeting five other ‘key’ figures in the al-Shabaab power structure.
A bounty of more than KSh 500 million has been put on the heads of three additional al-Shabaab leaders, reports the Voice of America. Among them is a high ranking leader known as Mahad Karate.
Karate is thought to have been the mastermind behind the Thursday, April 2, attack on Garissa University College.
The attack proved to be the second deadliest in Kenya’s history with at least 147 people being killed after several militants from the al-Shabaab stormed the campus.
$3 million (or KSh 300 million) is being offered for information on two leaders named Maalim Salman and Ahmed Iman Ali. Ali has allegedly recruited Kenyan youth to join al-Shabaab ranks and raised funds for the group. Salman is reported to lead al-Shabab’s African foreign fighters.
This is not the first time that the US has assisted Kenya in the fight against al-Shabaab. In the weeks leading up to US President Barack Obama’s visit to Kenya in July of 2015, the US military launched dozens of drone strikes against al-Shabaab targets.
Several members of terrorist group’s leadership were thought to have been killed in the attack.
The al-Shabaab has been a serious threat to Kenya for the last several years, launching a series of high profile attacks within Kenyan territory.
The group gained international notoriety in September of 2013, with several militants from the group storming the Westgate mall in Nairobi, killing at least 67 people. Several children and pregnant women were killed in the attack.
The group is thought to hold a base in the Boni forest region of Kenya, from which they train fighters and carry out attacks in Kenya.
