Taliban puts $50 million price on Bush's
head

Ananova. 21 November 2001

The Taliban has offered a $50 million bounty for the capture of George W
Bush. The regime's head of security has made the announcement, and claims it
is double what the US has placed on the head of bin Laden.

Mohammed Saeed Haqqani says Osama bin Laden could not have carried out
the attacks in New York and Washington.
According to the Inquilab, he said: "Osama bin Laden does not have the
means to carry out such acts." He went on: "If the rich Americans have offered $25 million for Osama we
will give $50 million to anyone who can capture Bush for us, in spite of
being a poor country."

Haqqani claims all good Muslims will reject the opportunity to cash in
on the $25 million offered by the US. "All Muslims will side with their faith. No offer can tempt us," he
added.
