Coral Gables Man Gets 5 Million in Terrorism Reward

WASHINGTON — (AP) — The Bush administration paid a $5 million reward to a Coral Gables resident and former Minnesota flight instructor who provided authorities with information that led to the arrest and conviction of 9/11 conspirator Zacarias Moussaoui. Two colleagues questioned why he got the money.

The recipient, Clarence Prevost, was honored Thursday at a closed-door ceremony at the State Department, although the payout was secretly authorized last fall by Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and the Justice Department, U.S. officials told The Associated Press. more
