The State Department said it is expanding its anti-terrorist rewards program. Under the program, anyone who offers information leading to the “prevention, frustration or favorable resolution” of terrorist acts against American citizens or property will be eligible for payments of up to $500,000, according to department spokeswoman Phyllis Oakley.

Rewards have been offered on six incidents since the program began, but no payments have been made, Oakley added.
