General Info:
Ahmed Hussein al-Shar’a, known by the nom de guerre Abu Mohammad al-Julani, is the commander-in-chief of the Syrian militant group Tahrir al-Sham; he was also the emir of its predecessor organisation al-Nusra Front, the Syrian branch of al-Qaeda. The US State Department listed Al-Julani as a “Specially Designated Global Terrorist” in May 2013, and four years later announced a $10 million reward for information leading to his capture. As of February 2021, the bounty remains in force.

The nisba “Al-Julani” in his nom de guerre is a reference to Syria’s Golan Heights, partially occupied and annexed by Israel during the war in 1967. Al-Julani released an audio statement on 28 September 2014, in which he stated he would fight the “United States and its allies” and urged his fighters not to accept help from the West in their battle against ISIL.
