U.S. offers $10 million reward for information on Syrian rebel leader Abu Mohammad al-Jolani
The U.S. State Department has announced a reward of up to $10 million for information leading to the capture of Abu Mohammad al-Jolani, leader of the rebel group Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS). Jolani's group recently overthrew Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad. Jolani, who has a history of fighting against U.S. forces, has distanced himself from extremist groups like ISIS and al Qaeda. He claims to support coexistence among Syria's diverse religious groups, including Alawites and Christians. The U.S. remains involved in Syria, conducting strikes against ISIS. The situation is complex, as the U.S. weighs its options following the recent changes in leadership and ongoing threats from extremist groups.
