Rewards for Justice is offering a reward of up to $4 million for information on Ibrahim Ahmed Mahmoud al-Qosi, also known as Sheikh Khubayb al-Sudani and Mohammad Salah Ahmad. Al-Qosi is a senior leader of al-Qa’ida in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP), a U.S.-designated Foreign Terrorist Organization.<\/p>\n\n
Al-Qosi joined AQAP in 2014, but has long been active in al-Qa\u2019ida (AQ) and worked directly for now-deceased AQ leader Usama bin Ladin for many years. Al-Qosi was captured in Pakistan in December 2001 before being transferred to Guantanamo Bay. He pleaded guilty in 2010 before a military commission to conspiring with AQ and providing material support to terrorism. The United States released al-Qosi and returned him to Sudan in 2012 pursuant to a pretrial agreement.<\/p>\n\n
Since 2015, al-Qosi has appeared in AQAP recruiting materials and encouraged lone-wolf attacks against the United States in online propaganda. He served as part of the leadership team that assisted now-deceased former AQAP emir Qasim al-Rimi.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":205216,"menu_order":0,"template":"","hostages-kidnapping":[],"gender":[4536],"crime-category":[3134],"location-country":[4555,4610],"region":[3091,3088],"election-interference":[],"organization":[3073],"dprk":[],"cyber":[],"featured-terrorist":[],"class_list":["post-158358","rewards","type-rewards","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","gender-male-th","crime-category-3134","location-country-sudan-th","location-country-yemen-th","region-3091","region-3088","organization-3073"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/38ec3b35-6f9f-491a-bc0d-08b6c6f4d58c.rfj.tips\/th\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/rewards\/158358","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/38ec3b35-6f9f-491a-bc0d-08b6c6f4d58c.rfj.tips\/th\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/rewards"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/38ec3b35-6f9f-491a-bc0d-08b6c6f4d58c.rfj.tips\/th\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/rewards"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/38ec3b35-6f9f-491a-bc0d-08b6c6f4d58c.rfj.tips\/th\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/205216"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/38ec3b35-6f9f-491a-bc0d-08b6c6f4d58c.rfj.tips\/th\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=158358"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"hostages-kidnapping","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/38ec3b35-6f9f-491a-bc0d-08b6c6f4d58c.rfj.tips\/th\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/hostages-kidnapping?post=158358"},{"taxonomy":"gender","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/38ec3b35-6f9f-491a-bc0d-08b6c6f4d58c.rfj.tips\/th\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/gender?post=158358"},{"taxonomy":"crime-category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/38ec3b35-6f9f-491a-bc0d-08b6c6f4d58c.rfj.tips\/th\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/crime-category?post=158358"},{"taxonomy":"location-country","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/38ec3b35-6f9f-491a-bc0d-08b6c6f4d58c.rfj.tips\/th\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/location-country?post=158358"},{"taxonomy":"region","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/38ec3b35-6f9f-491a-bc0d-08b6c6f4d58c.rfj.tips\/th\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/region?post=158358"},{"taxonomy":"election-interference","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/38ec3b35-6f9f-491a-bc0d-08b6c6f4d58c.rfj.tips\/th\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/election-interference?post=158358"},{"taxonomy":"organization","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/38ec3b35-6f9f-491a-bc0d-08b6c6f4d58c.rfj.tips\/th\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/organization?post=158358"},{"taxonomy":"dprk","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/38ec3b35-6f9f-491a-bc0d-08b6c6f4d58c.rfj.tips\/th\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/dprk?post=158358"},{"taxonomy":"cyber","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/38ec3b35-6f9f-491a-bc0d-08b6c6f4d58c.rfj.tips\/th\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cyber?post=158358"},{"taxonomy":"featured-terrorist","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/38ec3b35-6f9f-491a-bc0d-08b6c6f4d58c.rfj.tips\/th\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/featured-terrorist?post=158358"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
