THE US has posted a $US5 million ($A6.18 million) reward for the capture of a Malaysian terror suspect wanted for several bombings in the Philippines, the State Department said overnight.

"Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice has authorised a new reward of up to five million dollars for information leading to the arrest or conviction of Zulkifli bin Hir (aka Marwan)," the State Department said.

Zulkifli, described as "a terrorist believed to be involved in multiple deadly bomb attacks in the Philippines", has also been added to the US most-wanted list.

He joins the United States' public enemy number one, Osama bin Laden, mastermind of the al-Qaeda network, who has a $US25 million ($30.92 million) bounty on his head.

Zulkifli is believed to have been in hiding in the Philippines since August 2003.

He is involved in making bombs with the Abu Sayyaf group, which is linked to al-Qaeda.

Born in 1966 in Muar, Johor, Zulkifli, a Malaysian citizen, allegedly heads the Kumpulun Mujahidin Malaysia (KMM) terrorist organisation and is a member of Jemaah Islamiah's central command, the State Department said.

Jemaah Islamiah remains South-East Asia's most potent extremist group and is believed to have been behind a number of bombings in Indonesia, including the 2002 and 2005 Bali attacks in which more than 200 people were killed.

"Anyone with information on Zulkifli bin Hir, or on any past or planned act of international terrorism against United States persons or property anywhere in the world, is urged to contact the Rewards for Justice program," the State Department said.
