Rewards for Justice: Reward Increase for Abu Mus'ab Al-Zarqawi

Secretary of State Colin L. Powell has authorized an increase in the reward
offer for information leading to the arrest or conviction of Abu Mus'ab
Al-Zarqawi to up to $25 million. 

Abu Mus'ab Al-Zarqawi has had a long-standing connection to the senior
leadership of al-Qaida.  His organization has committed numerous atrocities
in Iraq in recent months, including the barbaric murder of American citizen
Nick Berg.

The United States is determined to bring him to justice for his crimes.

We encourage anyone with information on Abu Mus'ab Al-Zarqawi's location to
contact U.S. Embassy Baghdad, any U.S. military commander or other U.S.
official in Iraq, any U.S. embassy, mission, or consulate, or the Rewards
for Justice staff via e-mail (mail@rewardsforjustice.net
<mailto:mail@rewardsforjustice.net>) or telephone (1-800-877-3927).
