Marking the 25th anniversary of the September 11 terrorist attacks, the U.S. administration under Donald Trump has offered hefty bounties for eight senior leaders of the Islamic fundamentalist group Al-Qaeda who orchestrated the attacks.

Rewards for Justice, the terror information reporting and reward program operated by the U.S. Department of State, posted a notice on X (formerly Twitter) on this day offering "up to $10 million (approx. 13.4 billion won) in bounties for information on core Al-Qaeda leaders."

The post stated, "U.S. embassy bombings, attacks on U.S. troops, murder of innocent civilians. Help us stop these terrorists. Send in your tips."

Additionally, the bounty announcement image featured photos of eight Al-Qaeda leaders, introducing them as "senior Al-Qaeda leaders who use Iran as a safe haven to perpetrate violence against the United States and its allies."

The highest bounty of up to $10 million was placed on "Saif al-Adel" (referred to as AL-ADL), while the bounties for the other figures were set at $7 million (approx. 9.4 billion won), $5 million (approx. 6.7 billion won), and $3 million (approx. 4 billion won).

Rewards for Justice also informed tipsters providing information on them that they could "receive reward money and relocation assistance."

In another X post, the program offered bounties of $10 million and $5 million, respectively, for two leaders of Al-Qaeda in the Indian Subcontinent (AQIS), an armed group operating in regions including Afghanistan, Pakistan, India, Bangladesh, and Myanmar.

The post urged tips regarding these individuals, stating, "AQIS uses fear and violence to spread its extremist ideology."
