On Sunday the search for notorious ISIL leader Abu Bakr Al-Baghdadi drew to a close, and as a result one informant is in for a massive payday. For years, the ISIL leader had sat atop the FBI’s list of most wanted terrorists, with the agency offering a payout of $25 million to anyone who could provide information on his whereabouts. The money — which had been boosted from the initial $10 million offered in 2016 — is expected to be paid soon. The mole in line for the cash is said to be a former ISIL security official who turned on Al-Baghdadi. Al-Tamimi and Chesimard are currently the only women on the FBI’s most wanted list for terrorists.
