Revelation 6:3-4 NCV When the Lamb opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature say, "Come!" Then another horse came out, a red one. Its rider was given power to take away peace (prosperity, rest) from the earth and to make people kill each other (butcher, slaughter, to maim violently, in streets), and he was given a big sword (assassins sword, terrorist, loud, mighty, sore afraid).
The United States government is changing their tact on Islamic extremism in Africa by offering rewards for the most notorious Islamic terrorists.
A bounty of up to $23 million has been offered on information that leads to the arrest of the leader of the Boko Haram and a major al-Qaeda operative.
The list of militants in the “Reward for Justice” program is a major “who’s who” of terrorists responsible for attacks and kidnappings in North and West Africa. This is the first time the U.S. is offering cash in return for tips suggesting the U.S. considers the groups more of a threat to U.S. security.
The highest reward is $7 million for Abubakar Shekau, leader of the Nigerian based terrorist group Boko Haram. Rewards of over $3 million are being offered for several al-Qaeda leaders throughout the region.
