In a press release, the State Department said it offers a reward worth 5 million dollars for "information leading to the location or identification of Tirad al-Jarba, better known as Abu-Muhammad al-Shimali," a key leader of IS. 

 

Abu-Muhammad al-Shimali, a senior IS border chief, "now serves as a key leader in ISIL's Immigration and Logistics Committee, and is responsible for facilitating the travel of foreign terrorist fighters," the State Department said. 

 

"Al-Shimali and the ISIL Immigration and Logistics Committee coordinate¹ smuggling² activities, financial transfers, and the movement of supplies into Syria and Iraq from Europe, North Africa, and the Arabian Peninsula".
