Rewards for Justice is offering a reward of up to $10 million for information on Maalim Ayman, leader of Jaysh Ayman, an al-Shabaab unit that has conducted terrorist attacks in Kenya and Somalia. On January 5, 2020, al-Shabaab terrorists attacked Kenyan and U.S. personnel at Manda Bay Airfield, Kenya, killing two U.S. contractor pilots and a U.S. Army specialist acting as an air traffic controller. A third U.S. contractor and two other U.S. service members were injured in the attack.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Maalim Ayman was responsible for preparing the January 2020 attack. In November 2020, the Department of State designated Ayman as a Specially Designated Global Terrorist (SDGT) under Executive Order (E.O.) 13224, as amended.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
The Manda Bay facility is a Kenya Defense Forces military base utilized by U.S. armed forces to provide training and counterterrorism support to East African partners, respond to crises, and protect U.S. interests in the region.<\/p>\r\n","protected":false},"featured_media":167659,"menu_order":0,"template":"","hostages-kidnapping":[],"gender":[4520],"crime-category":[3434],"location-country":[4542],"region":[3014],"election-interference":[],"organization":[2997],"dprk":[],"cyber":[],"featured-terrorist":[3372],"class_list":["post-171202","rewards","type-rewards","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","gender-male-bur","crime-category-3434","location-country-somalia-bur","region-3014","organization--al-shabaab","featured-terrorist-show-terrorist-as-featured-on-homepage-bur"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/38ec3b35-6f9f-491a-bc0d-08b6c6f4d58c.rfj.tips\/bur\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/rewards\/171202","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/38ec3b35-6f9f-491a-bc0d-08b6c6f4d58c.rfj.tips\/bur\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/rewards"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/38ec3b35-6f9f-491a-bc0d-08b6c6f4d58c.rfj.tips\/bur\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/rewards"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/38ec3b35-6f9f-491a-bc0d-08b6c6f4d58c.rfj.tips\/bur\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/167659"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/38ec3b35-6f9f-491a-bc0d-08b6c6f4d58c.rfj.tips\/bur\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=171202"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"hostages-kidnapping","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/38ec3b35-6f9f-491a-bc0d-08b6c6f4d58c.rfj.tips\/bur\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/hostages-kidnapping?post=171202"},{"taxonomy":"gender","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/38ec3b35-6f9f-491a-bc0d-08b6c6f4d58c.rfj.tips\/bur\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/gender?post=171202"},{"taxonomy":"crime-category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/38ec3b35-6f9f-491a-bc0d-08b6c6f4d58c.rfj.tips\/bur\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/crime-category?post=171202"},{"taxonomy":"location-country","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/38ec3b35-6f9f-491a-bc0d-08b6c6f4d58c.rfj.tips\/bur\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/location-country?post=171202"},{"taxonomy":"region","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/38ec3b35-6f9f-491a-bc0d-08b6c6f4d58c.rfj.tips\/bur\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/region?post=171202"},{"taxonomy":"election-interference","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/38ec3b35-6f9f-491a-bc0d-08b6c6f4d58c.rfj.tips\/bur\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/election-interference?post=171202"},{"taxonomy":"organization","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/38ec3b35-6f9f-491a-bc0d-08b6c6f4d58c.rfj.tips\/bur\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/organization?post=171202"},{"taxonomy":"dprk","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/38ec3b35-6f9f-491a-bc0d-08b6c6f4d58c.rfj.tips\/bur\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/dprk?post=171202"},{"taxonomy":"cyber","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/38ec3b35-6f9f-491a-bc0d-08b6c6f4d58c.rfj.tips\/bur\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cyber?post=171202"},{"taxonomy":"featured-terrorist","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/38ec3b35-6f9f-491a-bc0d-08b6c6f4d58c.rfj.tips\/bur\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/featured-terrorist?post=171202"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
