US offers $10m reward over IS-K terror attack
8 February 2022
The US is offering two $10m (£7.4m) rewards for information on anyone responsible for a terror attack on Kabul airport.
At least 185 people - including 13 American troops and three Britons - died in the suicide bomb attack during evacuation of the city in August 2021.
President Joe Biden promised to hunt down those responsible, saying the US would "not forgive" the perpetrators.
The State Department says terror leader Sanaullah Ghafari is to blame.
It has set up a new Rewards for Justice programme, and its first move was to offer money for information on terrorists operating in Afghanistan, in particular Ghafari, who is head of the Islamic State offshoot IS-K.
