The United States Department of State has announced a reward of up to $10 million for any credible information that would lead to the location of a key figure in an Iran-aligned Iraqi armed group, Kataeb Sayyid al-Shuhada, KSS.
The American authorities made this announcement in a statement shared via social media on Thursday.
According to the US authorities, they are seeking details on Hashim Finyan Rahim al-Saraji, also known as Abu Alaa al-Walai, the leader of KSS which Washington has designated as a terrorist organisation.
The United States pointed out that the group has been involved in deadly operations targeting civilians and American interests in the region.
“The group has killed Iraqi civilians and attacked US diplomatic facilities in Iraq, as well as attacking US military bases and personnel in Iraq and Syria. We are therefore placing $10 million on him,” the US said.
DAILY POST reports that Al-Saraji is also reported to be a member of Iraq’s influential Coordination Framework, a Shiite political bloc that currently holds parliamentary dominance.
