HO

The United States has offered a reward of $10 million (£6.3 million ) for information leading to the arrest of Yasin al-Suri, who it says is a key al-Qaeda financier operating from Iran.

The aim is to break up a financial network that has operated from within Iran's borders since 2005. The US State Department said this is the first time a "terrorist financier" has been targeted in this way.
