US offers $10 million reward for information to disrupt Hezbollah finances

The United States on Monday (April 22) offered a reward of up to $10 million for information that could help disrupt financing of Hezbollah, the armed Shi’ite group backed by Iranian regime, Reuters reported.

The announcement by the US Department of State’s Rewards for Justice Program comes amid growing concerns by Washington about Hezbollah’s growing role in the Lebanese government.

Hezbollah’s regional clout has expanded as it sends militiamen to Middle East conflicts, including the war in Syria, where it has fought in support Bashar Assad.
