Rewards for Justice is offering a reward of up to $5 million for information on Fuad Shukr, also known as al-Hajj Mohsin. Shukr is a senior advisor on military affairs to Hasan Nasrallah, secretary-general of the U.S.-designated Foreign Terrorist Organization (FTO) Hizballah. Shukr serves on Hizballah’s highest military body, the Jihad Council, and has aided Hizballah fighters and pro-Syrian regime troops in Hizballah’s military campaign against Syrian opposition forces in Syria.

Shukr was a close associate of now-deceased Hizballah commander Imad Mughniyah. Shukr played a central role in the October 23, 1983 bombing of the U.S. Marine Corps Barracks in Beirut which killed 241 U.S. military personnel and wounded 128 others.

On September 10, 2019, the U.S. Department of State designated Shukr as a Specially Designated Global Terrorist pursuant to Executive Order 13224, as amended. Previously, on July 21, 2015, the U.S. Department of the Treasury designated Shukr pursuant to Executive Order 13582 for acting for or on behalf of Hizballah. As a result of these designations, among other consequences, all property and interests in property of Shukr that are subject to U.S. jurisdiction are blocked, and U.S. persons are generally prohibited from engaging in any transactions with Shukr. In addition, it is a crime to knowingly provide, or attempt or conspire to provide, material support or resources to FTO Hizballah.
