The US has reportedly released a hit list of terrorists thought to be ringleaders in the Islamic State militant group.
According to News.com.au, the countdown of the world's most wanted identifies the most dangerous terrorists, and comes with orders to block their assets and makes it a crime for any US person to come into contact with them.
Amru Al-Absi, who "has been in charge of kidnappings" as "a principal leader of Islamic State in Syria", is on top of the most wanted list.
Majority of the jihadists come from Chechnya and Scandinavian countries, and also includes leaders of Chechen and Moroccan-led organisations.
French-based extremist Salim Benghalem, who is responsible for carrying out executions for the group, features second on the list, the report said.
