The U.S. government yesterday said it is offering a reward for the arrest of the terrorists responsible for the attack on the DusitD2 hotel complex in Nairobi, Kenya in 2019. The statement coming from the office of the State Department’s spokesperson, Ned Price, says:

The U.S. Department of State’s Rewards for Justice (RFJ) program, which is administered by the Diplomatic Security Service, is offering a reward of up to $10 million for information leading to the arrest or conviction in any country of Mohamoud Abdi Aden and any other individual who committed, attempted or conspired to commit, or aided or abetted in the commission of the 2019 attack on the DusitD2 hotel complex in Nairobi, Kenya.

The statement recalled that exactly four years ago, on January 15, 2019, gunmen linked to the al-Shabaab terrorist group, armed with explosives, automatic weapons, and grenades, attacked the DusitD2 commercial center, a 6-building complex of shops, offices, and a hotel. At least 21 people, including an American citizen, lost their lives in the attack
