The US offered a Sh1.2 billion ($10 million) prize on Thursday for information leading to the arrest or conviction of accused al-Shabaab leader Maalim Ayman in any country.
Ayman is suspected of planning the 2020 terrorist attack against US and Kenyan forces at Kenya’s Manda Bay Airfield. The State Department announced a reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of Maalim Ayman, leader of the al-Shabaab unit Jaysh Ayman, in any country. The Somali movement Al-Shabaab, which Washington has blacklisted as a terrorist organization since 2008, claimed responsibility for the attack on the Manda Bay Airfield on Kenya’s northern coast.
