We urge our people in Aleppo to remain steadfast. The mujahideen will not fail you.|Abu Mohammad al-Julani, January 2017}} '''Ahmed Hussein al-Shar’a''' (Arabic: أحمد حسين الشرع), known by the ''nom de guerre'' '''Abu Mohammad al-Julani''' (Arabic: أبو محمد الجولاني), is a Syrian jihadist militant who currently serves as the commander-in-chief of the Syrian [[Militant Islam|militant Islamist]] group [[Tahrir al-Sham]]; he was also the emir of its predecessor organisation [[al-Nusra Front]], the Syrian branch of [[al-Qaeda]]. The US State Department listed Al-Julani as a "Specially Designated Global Terrorist" in May 2013,<ref>[https://2009-2017.state.gov/r/pa/prs/ps/2013/05/209499.htm Terrorist Designation of Al-Nusrah Front Leader Muhammad Al-Jawlani], U.S. State Department</ref> and four years later announced a $10 Million reward for information leading to his capture.<ref>[http://www.upi.com/Top_News/World-News/2017/05/10/US-offers-10M-reward-for-information-on-al-Nusra-leader/5921494432213/ U.S. offers $10M reward for information on al-Nusra leader], ''UPI''</ref> The phrase "Al-Julani" in his ''nom de guerre'' is a reference to Syria's Golan Heights, partially occupied and annexed by Israel during the war in 1967. Al-Julani released an audio statement on 28 September 2014, in which he stated he would fight the "United States and its allies" and urged his fighters not to accept help from the West in their battle against [[ISIS]].<ref>[http://www.cnn.com/2014/09/28/world/meast/isis-syria-iraq-strikes/index.html U.S. and its allies strike ISIS tank, refineries and checkpoints], ''CNN''</ref>
