The notification referred to the wanted militants as “Fitna al Khawarij.”
Rewards Offered for Wanted Terrorists
Authorities will offer rewards ranging from Rs500,000 to Rs10 million for useful information.
The reward will depend on the importance of the information provided. Officials said intelligence must help security forces locate, arrest, or eliminate a wanted suspect.
