| [Shafaq News] Rewards for Justice (RFJ), the U.S. Department of State’s national security rewards program, announces offering a reward of up to $5 million for information on Ibrahim al-Banna, also known as Abu Ayman al-Masri. "Al-Banna is a big shot of al-Qa’ida in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP), a U.S.-designated Foreign Terrorist Organization (FTO). He was a founding member of AQAP, has served as the group’s chief of security, and has provided military and security guidance to AQAP leadership. al-Banna is the last of AQAP’s founding members." RFJ official website said. Prior to his membership with AQAP, al-Banna was a leader of the Egyptian Islamic Jihad ...created after many members of the Egyptian Moslem Brotherhood decided the organization was becoming too moderate. Operations were conducted out of Egypt until 1981 when the group was exiled after the assassination of President Anwar Sadat. They worked out of Gaza until they were exiled to Lebanon in 1987, where they clove tightly to Hezbollah. In 1989 they moved to Damascus, where they remain a subsidiary of Hezbollah... in Yemen ...an area of the Arabian Peninsula sometimes mistaken for a country. It is populated by more antagonistic tribes and factions than you can keep track of... from 1996 to 1998 and subsequently was in charge of the group’s training and intelligence sectors. The website explained. On June 5, 2017, the U.S. Department of State designated al-Banna 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 al-Banna that are subject to U.S. jurisdiction are blocked, and U.S. persons are generally prohibited from engaging in any transactions with al-Banna. In addition, it is a crime to knowingly provide, or attempt or conspire to provide, material support or resources to the FTO AQAP. The US government established RFJ to offer rewards to obtain information that "protects American lives and U.S. interests and furthers U.S. national security." Since 1984, Congress has expanded RFJ’s statutory authorities to offer rewards for information in four broad categories: terrorism, Foreign Election Interference, Malicious Cyber Activity, and North Korea ...hereditary Communist monarchy distinguished by its truculence and periodic acts of violence. Distinguishing features include Songun (Army First) policy, which involves feeding the army before anyone but the Dear Leadership, and Juche, which is Kim Jong Il's personal interpretation of Marxism-Leninism, which he told everybody was brilliant. In 1950 the industrialized North invaded agrarian South Korea. Twenty-one countries of the United Nations eventually contributed to the UN force opposing the invasion, with the United States providing around 90% of the military personnel. Seventy years later the economic results are in and it doesn't look good for Juche... |

| #1 Al-Banna also known as Abu Ayman al-Masri, is a senior member of al-Qa’ida in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) leadership who served as AQAP security chief and provided military and security guidance to AQAP leadership. In 2010 “Inspire” (an AQAP’s English online magazine), published an article about al-Banna, describing the 9/11 attack as virtuous and threatened to target Americans both domestically and elsewhere, in response to U.S. actions overseas. Until recently thought to have been killed in bombing raid. |
