GUANTÁNAMO BAY, Cuba — The United States government Thursday offered a $4 million reward for information on the whereabouts of a Sudanese man who was convicted of war crimes at Guantánamo, was repatriated in 2012 and is suspected of recruiting for al-Qaida’s branch in Yemen.
In 2014, the United States similarly offered a reward for a Saudi man who had been held at Guantánamo but never charged and was released by the Bush administration in 2006. He was killed in a drone strike in 2015. The State Department declined Thursday to say whether any money was paid. Al-Qosi, an accountant, kept the books for a business owned by Qaida founder Osama bin Laden in Khartoum in the early 1990s before Sudan expelled bin Laden. Al-Qosi then followed him to Afghanistan in 1996 where, the prisoner said in his guilty plea, he performed menial tasks at a Qaida compound, including running its kitchen and sometimes serving as a driver.
Three years after his repatriation, Al-Qosi began appearing in videos and other publications of al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula and, according to the State Department, “has encouraged lone-wolf attacks against the United States in online propaganda.”
