The US government has offered a $10 million (£8 million) cash reward for information leading to the arrest of Mohammud Abdi Aden, the alleged mastermind of the 2019 attack on a hotel and office complex in Nairobi, Kenya.
Mr. Aden was allegedly a member of the cell that planned the DusitD2 hotel attack, which killed 22 people.
The Somali militant group al-Shabab claimed responsibility for the attack.
According to the US, Aden is wanted along with other suspected militants.
The reward has the full support of Kenyan authorities.
Several people have been arrested and charged with various roles in the events leading up to the attack. However, no one has been convicted on charges related to the attack.
Earlier this week, the US offered a $10 million reward for information leading to the capture of Maalim Ayman, the leader of al-military Shabab’s wing in Kenya.
He is wanted for his alleged role in the attack on a Kenyan and US army base near the Somali border.
Kenya’s key ally in the fight against terrorism has been the United States.
Al-Shabab claimed responsibility for several attacks in Kenya, claiming they were in retaliation for sending troops into Somalia as part of an African Union mission to combat the militants in 2011.
