The US reportedly considers Al-Qaeda’s Yemen branch - Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) - as one of the most dangerous branches of the global jihadist network. AQAP is a militant Sunni Islamist terrorist group loyal to Daesh. The US has targeted the leaders of the group for over two decades.

Recently, the US started offering up to $5 million for information on Ibrahim Al Banna, a senior leader of Al Qaeda's affiliate in Yemen. The US State Department said that Al Banna is the last surviving founding member of AQAP.

The US officially designated Al Banna as a terrorist in the year 2017. The US designated Aqap as a terrorist group in 2010. The Aqap claimed responsibility for a number of terrorist attacks.

The group also claimed responsibility for the attack on the offices of the satirical newspaper Charlie Hebdo in Paris in 2015 that killed 12 people. The group armed with rifles and other weapons killed 12 people while attacking the magazine’s office in Paris.

Al Banna is also believed to have planned the 1993 assassination attempt on former Egyptian prime minister Atef Sedky.
