MANILA, May 3: The Philippine military is seeking the assistance of the public to neutralize the top Jemaah Islamiyah (JI) leader, who is believed to be hiding in the country.
The person who can give the military information on the whereabouts of JI leader Zulkifli Abdhir will be given 5 million U. S. dollars as reward, Lt. Col. Randolph Cabangbang said.
"The U.S. Rewards For Justice Program is offering a payment of up to 5 million U.S. dollars for information leading to the capture of Abdhir. A priority of the U.S. Rewards For Justice Program is maintaining the anonymity of the source," Cabangbang said.
Adhir is facing a terrorism-related charge before a US federal court and is in the US State Department's list of most wanted terrorists.
At least 30 JI members have been earlier said to be have been operating in the country, including Omar Patek who was arrested last January in Pakistan.
