 Zakariya Hersi was added to the "Rewards for Justice List" by the US State Department and was listed as 1 of the 7 Senior Leaders of Al-Shabaab.Zakariya Hersi had a 3 million dollar bounty on him and played one of the most important roles in the Al-Shabaab terrorist organization.What's alarming about his defection on December 24, 2014, and his employment shortly after as Somalia's Chief of National Intelligence Security Agency in 2015, is that Zakariye Hersi's defection from Al-Shabaab came only after infighting occurred and many members were being purged.
