US announces $5 million reward for information on attack against Americans in Bangladesh
The State Department said the terrorists from the Al Qaeda-linked terror organisation had killed writer Avijit Roy and wounded his wife Rafida Bonya
US State Department's rewards for justice programme on Monday announced rewards of up to $5 million on terrorists who had attacked American nationals in 2015.
The State Department said the terrorists from the Al Qaeda-linked terror organisation had killed writer Avijit Roy and wounded his wife Rafida Bonya Ahmed during the attack in Dhaka.
The Bangladesh court this year had sentenced five terrorists to death while sending one of them to life imprisonment.
The US government said, "Two of those defendants Syed Ziaul Haque and Akram Hossain were tried and remain at large." The State Department has offered rewards for information leading to the arrest of the two terrorists.
