MANILA, Philippines - Osama bin Laden had a $25 million bounty on his head at the time of his death.
Bin Laden was listed as one of the Ten Most Wanted fugitives by the US Federal Bureau of Investigation. He has been on the list since June of 1999, and is listed as "Usama bin Laden," a variation of his name's spelling.
He was on the FBI list "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. In addition, Bin Laden was a suspect in other terrorist attacks throughout the world."
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."
US President Barack Obama announced Sunday (Monday in Manila) that Bin Laden was killed in an attack in a compound in Pakistan, acting on a lead that first emerged last August.
