ISLAMABAD: A top Taliban commander on Wednesday offered a reward of 100 kilograms of gold to anyone who kills the person responsible for the blasphemous cartoons

If someone killed the cartoonist responsible for the cartoons in Denmark, the ‘Taliban will give 100 kilograms of gold’, Mullah Dadullah said in a telephone call to Afghan Islamic Press from an unknown location. Mullah Dadullah also said the Taliban would give five kilograms of gold to anyone who killed a Danish, Norwegian or German soldier.

The agency quoted Dadullah as saying the Taliban’s list of would-be suicide bombers had grown since the publication of the cartoons. —AFP
