Taliban leader Mullah Mohammad Omar's death leaves only one other top terrorist with a connection to the 9/11 attacks — Ayman al-Zawahiri — with a huge bounty on his head.

Afghanistan's main intelligence agency said Wednesday that Mullah Omar has been dead for more than two years. The U.S. had placed a $10 million bounty on him.

Since 1984, the U.S. government has paid out more than $125 million to over 80 people who provided information that prevented foreign terror attacks or led to the arrests of terror suspects, according to the State Department.

Here are some of the most prominent terror leaders who remain at large:

Ayman al-Zawahiri: $25 million bounty

Zawihiri was Osama bin Laden’s top adviser and assumed the job as leader of al-Qaeda after bin Laden’s death. The U.S. has indicted him in connection with the Aug. 7, 1998, bombings of U.S. embassies in Tanzania and Kenya that killed 224 people.

Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi: $10 million bounty

Al-Baghdadi is the leader of the Islamic State, a terror group that has taken over large swaths of Iraq and Syria and is quickly expanding its influence throughout the region. Al-Baghdadi got his start as a leader of al-Qaeda in Iraq. The Islamic State, also known by the acronyms ISIS or ISIL, split from al-Qaeda in 2013 and grew rapidly.

Sirajuddin Haqqani: $10 million bounty

Haqqani is the operational head of a militant group operating in Afghanistan that has been responsible for attacks on coalition and Afghan targets, including numerous deadly suicide bombings and kidnappings. The State Department named the Haqqani Network a terrorist organization in 2012.

Hafiz Mohammed Saeed: $10 million bounty

Saeed is a founder of the Pakistani Taliban, which seeks to establish radical Islamist rule over India and Pakistan. “Saeed is suspected of masterminding numerous terrorist attacks, including the 2008 Mumbai attacks, which resulted in the deaths of 166 people, including six American citizens,” according to the State Department.

Yasin al-Suri: $10 million bounty

The U.S. government accuses Suri of being a top al-Qaeda facilitator based in Iran. He has helped facilitate the movement of militants into Syria and Western countries.

That's a very good question... I wish we still had military intel collectors in the AO... At least we would possibly have better tabs on them...
