US offers $10M reward for PMF leader al-Wala'i

The U.S. Justice Department has announced a reward of up to $10 million for information leading to the capture of Abu Ala al-Walai, the Secretary General of the Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF) and leader of the Iraqi Resistance group Kata'ib Sayyid al-Shuhada. The reward offer, publicized by the Department's Rewards for Justice program, targets a key figure in the Iran-aligned paramilitary network. This move signals an escalation in U.S. efforts to counter Iranian influence and militia activity in Iraq. The announcement follows previous State Department statements on the same reward.
