The U.S. Department of State’s Rewards for Justice Program (RFJ) promised up to $5 million for any information on the three leaders Faruq al-Suri, Abu ‘Abd al-Karim al-Masri and Sami al-Uraydi.
“Following the Nusra Front’s claim that it split from al-Qaeda in 2016, these individuals formed a terrorist organization known as Horas al-Din (HAD), also affiliated with al- Qaeda. AI-Suri and al-Uraydi are former leaders of the Nusra Front, and al-Karim previously served as mediator for the Nusra Front. Al-Surf is the current leader of HAD, al-Uraydi is a senior sharia official for HAD, and al-Karim was a member of the Shura in 2018. If you have information on any of these individuals, please contact your nearest U.S. embassy or consulate or email rewardsforjustice.net,” the RFJ said in a poster.
Horas al-Din has around 2,000 militants currently stationed in Syria’s Greater Idlib. The terrorist group is allied to Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) [the Nusra Front’s new name] and several Turkish-backed groups.
Despite carrying out a strike on the terrorist group last June, the U.S. moved to add Horas al-Din to its terrorism list this week only.
would be better if an oil rich sheik of some middle eastern country put up a dead or alive award for say pompeo, or bolton and best of all, 10m$ for netanyahu dead! lots of takers for that one.
Now we know that SAA has to capture these three alive as soon as possible. They must have or know something which makes them the target of this hunt. American government rarely does something that is actually anti-terror, so one wonders why they are offering that sum for a hairy threesome!
My bet is they got away with lots of cash or jewels.
Gold. Mountains of gold suddenly disappeared from Deir el-Zour province through ISIS,
$500 million gold or more, versus $5 million reward…..(you know American way of trade).
Gold is a lot better than cash or jewels !
Cash and jewels are a good second best though, Ronald, if you have some to spare :)
“On the road to Damascus”, like Paul, I had a “vision” that I found that 500 million in gold. When I do, I’ll be sure to wire you my cash !
You are a true friend, thank you :)
I agree. The ONLY way they can save their lives now is to surrender to the SAA, Russia, Iran, or Hezbollah, and quickly.
Sounds like some of the Americunt sponsored terrorists have gone rogue on their masters, shades of Afghanistan circa 1980’s. The Americunt arseholes are floundering all over the region as the whole filthy Zionist agenda falls apart.
Erdogan desperately wants to stop the ever growing refugee flow from Idlib into Turkey, and due to that ridiculous ceasefire he got Putin to agree to last week he has managed to slow down the refugees a fair bit, but just when he thought he was getting back some sort of control over the situation and relieving some of the pressure, that pesky Trump sent in a fighter jet and bombed 40 of the guys he was actively protecting with that ceasefire, which scared the hell out of a lot of those refugees. And now a week later Trumps offering enormous bribes to the terrorist to bump off their own leaders just by providing info on their whereabouts, that’s the second big slap in the face for Erdogan from Trump. Five mill is a huge incentive and I’ll bet a lot of terrorist would love to make an easy 5 mill, those 3 leaders will be as paranoid as they’ve ever been in their whole lives right about now, and they’ll be looking at everyone they used to trust with paranoid suspicion from now on, or perhaps even just shooting them just because of it. This offer of a reward won’t directly help keep the refugees moving north but it will indirectly help, it’ll help make the rats turn on each other and cause a refugee panic from within their own circles, once they start seeing their leaders bumped off more no more reason than distrust. I wonder what Trump’s got planned for his next instalment, a slap to Erdogan’s face like the last 2 times or will he perhaps close his fist next time and deliver a knockout blow, and he won’t have to hit too hard to knock him out either, because Erdogan’s already on the ropes and only just barely conscious now.
Good assessment.Very detailed and true.
Thanks I appreciate that.
Bad assessment. Very superficial and not true.
Instead of being even more superficial than I was, why don’t you point out exactly what you think is incorrect.
you can also set a trap for them: take a 12 yo boy and say he thinks the regime is great. put him down somewhere alone, hide and wait … the rats will surely eat the bait. ;)
USA is showing stupid terrorists leader Erdogan who’s the boss.Soon traitor Sunnis will reveal all terrorists leaders and whereabouts.No more ceasefire delays.
Erdogan stabbed USANATO in the back by even buying USA adversaries weapons.Because Erdogan is arrogant and behaved outside NATO norms and values.
Are you aware that Turkey initially wanted to buy Arrows from Israel in the 1990’s and the US opposed? In 00’s Turkey had some offers from Russia (S-300), Europe, China and the US for 4 bases (Istanbul, Ankara and 2 other sites). They initially went for S-300, but left negotiation for the same “NATO values”. US refused to transfer technology and pressured Turkey to accept a black box concept. Eurosam accepted tech transfer but Turkey wanted Patriot, so they declined and decided not to buy anything unless it’s from the US (Turkey’s sin was probably they refusal to name Iran as a threat and rightfully so). To my eye, they put way too much trust in NATO. To that point, Turkey’s air defence was relying on a few UK Rapiers and US Hawks stationed there plus sholder-fired short range missiles and jets armed with AAMs. NATO stationed a few (if I remember correctly, 6) Patriot batteries (which Turks had no access to). With war in Syria starting Turkey tried to buy Patriots from the US and again, US denied. Not only that, but they also removed the batteries stationed in Turkey, probably to deny them establishing a no-fly-zone in northern Syria.
Now that the deal with Russia is finalized and the system is there, the US wants to sell them at twice the price of S-400 and still no tech transfer.
Regardless of Erdogan’s actions and beliefs, what would you do if you were in his place? I know what I’d do, screw “NATO norms and values”, I’ll get the defence I need from anybody, at least as long as it doesn’t come with a short leash.
Very straightforward question.But first thank you for updating and enlightening truth regarding secrets surrounding Erdogan desperation. Yes of course if would have done precisely the same.
But when you are working as a team (NATO) reputations and actions count.Legibality ,accountability ,responsibility and rules procedures decisin making work hand in hand.
This time around may critic’s NATO is right.Erdogan is untruth worthy and arrogant. Putin himself realise that is why Russians bomb Idlib terrorists left and right.
If Erdogan was having Patriots it could have escalated even Russian jet downing issue.Erdogan wanted to attack Israel even after activist from Turkey forcefully broke Israel naval blockade on Palestine.
Erdogan is currently drilling illegal in Cyprus territory. Erdogan also compete with USA his master in Qatar.USA really try by all means clashes with Erdogan in Syria. But NATO call Putin a gift just because Putin make decisions without background checking.
It also put USA in good position to wait for a slightest mistake to take out targets in Turkey. USA has the ability to take on Turkey from a far distance.If Turkey people wants to exist their must get rid of Erdogan or else they will find out were is Gaddafi and Saddam
