NEW YORK-- The photograph of Osama bin Laden on the FBI's Most Wanted Terrorists list has a new caption: Deceased.
But it was unclear Monday how much, if any, of the up to $25 million in reward money offered on the terrorist leader has been granted.
The FBI made no comment yesterday as to whether any part of the bounty would now be paid after US Navy Seals successfully targeted his compound in Pakistan.
Its Most Wanted website was updated almost immediately after President Obama’s announced bin Laden’s death.
In addition to the $25 million reward, $2 million was also offered through a program developed and funded by the Airline Pilots Association and the Air Transport Association.
His FBI Most Wanted profile page listed him as "armed and extremely dangerous.
In the 10 years since the 9/11 attacks, the Central Intelligence Agency, the FBI and other intelligence agencies have worked to locate bin Laden, who was found living in a compound outside of Islamabad.
The use of reward money has become an important asset in the government's fight against global terrorism.
Bin Laden had been on the list since June 1999 and was wanted “in connection with the August 7, 1998, bombings of the United States Embassies in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, and Nairobi, Kenya. These attacks killed over 200 people.
The US Government is also offering a $25 million reward for information leading to the capture or conviction of bin Laden’s deputy, Ayman Al-Zawahiri.
