Osama on hoardings

Published August 24, 2008

KABUL, Aug 23: The United States is erecting hoardings in Afghanistan offering hefty rewards for Osama bin Laden, Taliban chief Mullah Mohammad Omar and US Al Qaeda member Adam Gadahn, the embassy said on Saturday.

Ten of the large ‘Rewards for Justice’ boards were being erected countrywide, two of them in Kabul, embassy spokeswoman Corina Sanders said.

They show a portrait of the turbaned Gadahn flanked by those of Osama and Mullah Omar.

The Rewards for Justice website offers up to $25 million for information leading to the arrest of Osama, $10 million for Mullah Omar and $1 million for Gadahn.—AFP
