Rs 1.5 million for killing cartoonists
 KHAR: Clerics announced a Rs 1.5 million reward for the murder of the cartoonist who drew caricatures of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) at a rally organised by the Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) and Anjuman-e-Tajaran trade union of Bajaur Agency here on Sunday. Hundreds of tribesmen carrying banners and placards denouncing Denmark, the United States and the European newspapers that published the cartoons took part in the rally. Trade union and JI leaders addressed the rally and denounced the cartoons as a "terrorist act" and demanded the government cut ties with the countries where the cartoons were published. They also condemned the bombing in Bajaur Agency by US drones and demanded the US compensate the families of the innocent people killed in the attack. Posted by: Fred 2006-02-27 |
