On Oct. 4, 2011, the United States listed al-Baghdadi as a global terrorist and announced a reward of up to 10 million U.S. dollars for information leading to his capture or death. On Dec. 16, 2016, the United States increased the reward to 25 million dollars equal to the reward being offered for the leader of al-Qaida, Ayman al-Zawahiri.
Al-Baghdadi was born in 1971 in Samarra in central Iraq, according to a biography that circulated on Islamic internet forums in July 2017. He obtained a BA, MA and PhD in Islamic studies from the Islamic University of Baghdad.
The IS is an al-Qaida breakaway group, and Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi was announced to be its leader on May 16, 2010, following the death of his predecessor Abu Omar al-Baghdadi.
