(Wednesday, March 28) - The United States has posted a five-million dollar reward for the capture of a Malaysian terror suspect wanted for several bombings in the Philippines, the State Department said Tuesday. "Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice has authorized a new reward of up to five million dollars for information leading to the arrest or conviction of Zulkifli bin Hir (a.k.a. Marwan)," the State Department said in a statement. Zulkifli, described as "a terrorist believed to be involved in multiple deadly bomb attacks in the Philippines," has also been added to the US most-wanted list.
He joins the United States' public enemy number one, Osama Bin Laden, mastermind of the Al-Qaeda network, who has a 25-million dollar bounty on his head. Zulkifli is believed to have been in hiding in the Philippines since August 2003 where he is involved in making bombs with the Abu Sayyaf group, which is linked to Al-Qaeda. (Yahoo, AFP)
