Rewards for Justice is offering a reward of up to $5 million for information on Ali Sayyid Muhamed Mustafa al-Bakri, also known as Abd al-Aziz al-Masri. Al-Bakri is a member of the al-Qai\u2019da (AQ) shura council, the group\u2019s decision-making body, and is a close associate of AQ leader Sayf al-Adl. Al-Bakri is an explosives and chemical weapons expert.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n
Prior to joining AQ, al-Bakri was a member of the Egyptian Islamic Jihad terrorist group under the direction of al-Zawahiri. He served as an instructor in AQ camps in Afghanistan, training terrorist recruits in the use of explosives and chemical weapons. Al-Bakri also attempted to hijack a Pakistani Air passenger flight in December 2000. It is likely that he continues to train AQ terrorists and other extremists.<\/p>\n\n
Al-Bakri is settled with his family in Iran.<\/p>\n\n
On October 3, 2005, the U.S. Department of the Treasury designated al-Bakri as a Specially Designated Global Terrorist pursuant to Executive Order 13224, as amended. As a result of this designation, among other consequences, all property and interests in property of\u00a0al-Bakri that are subject\u00a0to\u00a0U.S. jurisdiction are blocked, and U.S. persons are generally prohibited from engaging in any transactions with al-Bakri. In addition, it is a crime to knowingly provide, or attempt or conspire to provide, material support or resources to\u00a0AQ,\u00a0a U.S.-designated\u00a0Foreign Terrorist Organization.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":123964,"menu_order":0,"template":"","hostages-kidnapping":[],"gender":[4523],"crime-category":[2927],"location-country":[4537],"region":[2932],"election-interference":[],"organization":[2984],"dprk":[],"cyber":[],"featured-terrorist":[],"class_list":["post-148792","rewards","type-rewards","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","gender-male-lao","crime-category-2927","location-country-iran-lao","region-2932","organization---aq"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/38ec3b35-6f9f-491a-bc0d-08b6c6f4d58c.rfj.tips\/lao\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/rewards\/148792","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/38ec3b35-6f9f-491a-bc0d-08b6c6f4d58c.rfj.tips\/lao\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/rewards"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/38ec3b35-6f9f-491a-bc0d-08b6c6f4d58c.rfj.tips\/lao\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/rewards"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/38ec3b35-6f9f-491a-bc0d-08b6c6f4d58c.rfj.tips\/lao\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/123964"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/38ec3b35-6f9f-491a-bc0d-08b6c6f4d58c.rfj.tips\/lao\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=148792"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"hostages-kidnapping","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/38ec3b35-6f9f-491a-bc0d-08b6c6f4d58c.rfj.tips\/lao\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/hostages-kidnapping?post=148792"},{"taxonomy":"gender","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/38ec3b35-6f9f-491a-bc0d-08b6c6f4d58c.rfj.tips\/lao\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/gender?post=148792"},{"taxonomy":"crime-category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/38ec3b35-6f9f-491a-bc0d-08b6c6f4d58c.rfj.tips\/lao\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/crime-category?post=148792"},{"taxonomy":"location-country","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/38ec3b35-6f9f-491a-bc0d-08b6c6f4d58c.rfj.tips\/lao\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/location-country?post=148792"},{"taxonomy":"region","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/38ec3b35-6f9f-491a-bc0d-08b6c6f4d58c.rfj.tips\/lao\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/region?post=148792"},{"taxonomy":"election-interference","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/38ec3b35-6f9f-491a-bc0d-08b6c6f4d58c.rfj.tips\/lao\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/election-interference?post=148792"},{"taxonomy":"organization","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/38ec3b35-6f9f-491a-bc0d-08b6c6f4d58c.rfj.tips\/lao\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/organization?post=148792"},{"taxonomy":"dprk","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/38ec3b35-6f9f-491a-bc0d-08b6c6f4d58c.rfj.tips\/lao\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/dprk?post=148792"},{"taxonomy":"cyber","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/38ec3b35-6f9f-491a-bc0d-08b6c6f4d58c.rfj.tips\/lao\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cyber?post=148792"},{"taxonomy":"featured-terrorist","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/38ec3b35-6f9f-491a-bc0d-08b6c6f4d58c.rfj.tips\/lao\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/featured-terrorist?post=148792"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
