After US Catches and Kills Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, A $10 Million Bounty For Information On The New Isis Leader

The U.S. government has increased the bounty for information that will lead to the capture or killing of the new leader of the Islamic State to $10 million.


Amir Mohammed Sa’id Abdal Rahman al-Mawla, also known as Hajji Abdallah, became the new leader of ISIS after his predecessor Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi was killed during a U.S. Special Operations operation in October 2019.


The 46-year-old al-Mawla was a member of al-Qaeda in Iraq (AQI), serving as a religious scholar. With the advent of ISIS, al-Mawla steadily rose through prominence to become a deputy emir (regional governor) before getting the top job in the battered terrorist group after al-Baghdadi’s death. His past as a religious scholar meant that al-Mawla has been a protagonist in the creation, through religious edicts, of the ideology that ISIS utilized to justify a number of its crimes.


“This reward is an important moment in our fight against ISIS and its branches and networks around the world. As ISIS is defeated on the battlefield, we are determined to identify and find the group’s leaders so that the global coalition of nations fighting to defeat ISIS can continue to destroy ISIS remnants and thwart its global ambitions,” stated the State Department announcement.


Al-Mawla has been a leading voice in the prosecution, genocide, and trafficking of the Yazidis, a religious minority located in the northwest of Iraq. Al-Mawla, moreover, has managed and led a number of terrorist operations outside Iraq and Syria.


The bounty is offered through the State Department’s Rewards for Justice program. The initial bounty, $5 million, was set in August 2019. Last March, al-Mawla was designated a Specially Designated Global Terrorist. As a result, the terrorist leader’s property and interests have been sanctioned and U.S. citizens are prohibited from making any transaction with him.


Although ISIS has been defeated as a major ground threat, small pockets of resistance and sleeper cells still exist and pose a significant danger in the fragile region. More dangerous, however, is the poisonous ideology of the terrorist organization and its ability to motivate individuals and groups to acts of extremism around the world.


Al-Baghdadi, the previous leader, was killed in a daring operation. During the mission, an assault element comprised of Delta Force operators and Rangers from the 75th Ranger Regiment raided the compound in which al-Baghdadi was hiding in Syria. After a brief firefight, the ISIS leader detonated a suicide vest, killing himself and a number of his own children.

HATE CRIME HOAX: FBI Determines No Federal Crime Was Committed Against Bubba Wallace While Investigating Noose In His Garage

The noose was actually a pull rope set up by a team that used the garage in 2019

Following an investigation into the noose that was found in the garage of Bubba Wallace, a Black NASCAR driver, the FBI has determined that no federal crime was committed. Their reasoning is that the noose in question has been in the garage since Oct. 14, 2019, and that nobody outside of NASCAR officials could have known Wallace would have been assigned that garage until a few days before Sunday's race at Talladega, which was ultimately rained out and ran on Monday.

NASCAR's statement about the incident adds a lot more color, noting that the noose was actually a garage door pull rope that was fashioned in a loop. The decision to tie the rope that way during a race at the track last year ultimately resulted in a rather misfortunate understanding, per the statement.


"The FBI has completed its investigation at Talladega Superspeedway and determined that Bubba Wallace was not the target of a hate crime. The FBI report concludes, and photographic evidence confirms, that the garage door pull rope fashioned like a noose had been positioned there since as early as last fall. This was obviously well before the 43 team's arrival and garage assignment. We appreciate the FBI's quick and thorough investigation and are thankful to learn that this was not an intentional, racist act against Bubba. We remain steadfast in our commitment to providing a welcoming and inclusive environment for all who love racing."

This information about the noose being around since 2019 was also discovered in NASCAR's independent investigation. Wood Brothers Racing, the team that had Wallace's garage during the Talladega race in Oct. 2019, released a statement of their own about the incident. Apparently an employee had remembered seeing the garage rope tied in that way and quickly alerted NASCAR about what the team refers to as "coincidence of our stall from 2019."


"We are thankful that there was no one involved in perpetrating hate during this weekend's race. Just like the rest of the NASCAR garage, we were shocked and appalled to learn of the existence of the rope fashioned like a noose. One of our employees alerted us yesterday morning that, without knowing the details of the incident, he recalled seeing a tied handle in the garage pull-down rope from last fall. We immediately alerted NASCAR and have assisted the investigation in every way possible. What transpired over the past day plus is a unity that has only served to strengthen the bonds between each and every crew member, fan and non-fan alike. The Wood Brothers organization is proud to stand with Bubba Wallace and the entire industry as we work to make every race fan a part of our NASCAR family."

Wallace received an outpouring of support from members all over the NASCAR community, including his fellow drivers, after the noose was discovered in his garage.


Despite all of the distractions that Wallace and his team were dealing with leading up to the race itself, Bubba put on one memorable performance as he led the race at one point and ultimately posted a career-best finish at Talladega in the end. [source]
