An instructor at a US flight school attended by convicted 9/11 conspirator Zacarias Moussaoui has received $5m for alerting authorities, reports say.
Clarence Prevost was awarded the payout as part of the State Department's "Rewards for Justice" programme, the Associated Press news agency reports.
The programme seeks information about plans to attack US interests.
Mr Prevost testified during the trial of Moussaoui, the only person charged in the US over the 9/11 attacks.
The former Navy pilot, 69, had become suspicious of Moussaoui, an inexperienced pilot seeking commercial jetliner training.
He had urged his managers at the Pan Am International Flight Academy outside Minneapolis to call the FBI in August 2001.
