Fact Sheet: Rewards for Justice Program: Prevention of Terrorism Advertising Campaign As released by the Office of the Spokesman U.S. Department of State, December 14, 2000 |
|
The State Department's Diplomatic Security Service administers The Rewards for Justice Program. Under this program, the Secretary of State may offer rewards of up to $5 million for information that prevents or resolves acts of international terrorism against U.S. interests worldwide, or leads to the arrest or conviction of terrorists involved in such acts. The Rewards for Justice Program has been an effective tool in the fight against international terrorism. In the past few years, the United States has paid over $6 million in approximately 20 cases to people who have come forward with credible information that puts terrorists behind bars or prevented acts of international terrorism worldwide. The program played a significant role in the arrest of international terrorists Ramzi Yousef in February 1995 and Mir Aimal Kasi in 1997. People with information are urged to contact the Bureau of Diplomatic Security via any one of the following avenues: Internet: www.dssrewards.net E-mail: mail@dssrewards.net Telephone: 1-800-437-6371 (U.S. only)
In addition, people who are located overseas may contact the Regional Security Officer at the nearest U.S. Embassy or Consulate.
