Mali’s military government is offering a reward for information that leads to the arrest or killing of Iyad Ag Ghali, leader of al-Qaeda’s Sahel branch. The reward is reported at €3 million by RFI and $3.5 million by Deutsche Welle and Vanguard, with outlets describing it as a cash bounty tied to locating Ag Ghali. All accounts say the offer is linked to Ag Ghali’s role in launching a major offensive in April. Deutsche Welle also reports that the junta is offering smaller rewards for other suspects, including Tuareg separatist figures, though the details of those amounts and identities are not specified in the provided excerpts. The reports frame the bounty as part of the junta’s broader efforts to target militants operating in the Sahel region. The information available across sources focuses on the existence of the reward and its connection to Ag Ghali, without detailing any immediate operational outcomes.
