US lift $10 million reward for arrest of Tahrir al-Sham leader

Barbara Leaf, the U.S. Assistant Secretary of State, announced that Washington has canceled the $10 million reward for the arrest of Ahmed Shar’a, the leader of Tahrir al-Sham, following a meeting between U.S. diplomats and the group’s leader in Damascus.

Barbara Leaf, who oversees Middle Eastern affairs, justified the decision by stating that the leader of Tahrir al-Sham has pledged not to allow terrorist groups to operate in Syria or pose a threat to the United States or neighboring countries.
