SOMALIA yesterday announced a bounty of between $100,000 (Sh9.2 million) and $250,000 (Sh23.3 million) on the heads of 13 most wanted terror suspects.
In the list is Kenya’s Mohamed Mohamud, alias Gamadere, on whose head the Kenyan government put Sh20 million bounty last week.
Somalia announced a reward of $100,000 to anyone with a report leading to his arrest or death.
He is said to be the mastermind of the Garissa University College attack in which 147 students were killed.
The list is topped by Ahmad Ubaidah, the al Shabaab leader, for whom there is the maximum $250,000 reward.
Others are Mahad Warsameh, alias Karaatay ($150,000), Ali Mohamud, alias Rage Dheere ($100,000), Abdullahi Jimale, alias Zubeib ($100,000), Mohamed Noor, alias Suldaan ($100,000), Ali Hussein, alias Jeesto ($100,000) and Ali Mohamed, alias Jabaal.
Also in the list are other most wanted terrorists Hassan Ahmed, alias Afgooye, Abdulhi Ismail, Abdulhi Osman, Mohamed Muse, alias Haabil and Yassin, alias Osman Kilwa.
This bounty on Gamadere is expected to boost efforts to arrest or kill him.
He is said to be hiding in the Gedo region of Somalia after the Garissa attack.
Intelligence reports indicate he is in charge of operations against Kenya.
