Somalia’s federal government on Thursday announced it is offering rewards to anyone who provides information that leads to the capture or location of 11 key members of militant group al-Shabaab.
The bounties totalling $1.3 million, was approved in a high-level ministerial meeting held in Mogadishu chaired by Prime Minister Omar Abdirashid.
Among the members placed on the bounty is the group’s spokesman Ali Mohamoud Rageh ( $100,000) and Mohamed Kunno (Dulyadeyn), whom the Kenyan government said is the ‘’mastermind’’ of the recent al-Shabaab massacre in Kenya has similarly $100,000 on his head.
In September 2014, the government placed a $3 million bounty on the new leader of the al-Qaeda –linked militant group Ahmed Omar Abu-ubaidah.
The move comes a week after al-Shabaab militants launched a deadly attack on the Garissa University, killing 147 people following more than 12 hours of siege.
