The United States offers millions for information leading to the capture of the world's most wanted terrorists.If the government would drop that to $10,000 I feel they'd get more action because it's a number they can understand.
A Somali militant group has purportedly countered with an offer of camels for U.S. officials.
On second thought, maybe we should offer camels insted. For sure they'd understand that.
Al-Shabaab has placed a bounty of 10 camels for President Barack Obama and two camels for information on Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
Isn't that a bit sexist? Besides, Hillary is way more valuable than The One.
An audio statement posted on jihadist websites purportedly from Al-Shabaab jeered news that the United States is offering millions of dollars for information on seven key members of al-Shabaab through its Rewards for Justice program.
The man on the audio claimed to be Fuad Mohamed Khalaf, considered by the State Department to be Al-Shabaab's leading fundraiser. The United States has offered $5 million for information of his whereabouts.
He's probably in Pakistain somewhere. Can I get my reward now?
"Whoever brings the mujahidin information about the whereabouts of infidel Obama and the lady of Bill Clinton, the woman named Hillary Clinton, I will give a reward," the man said.
A study by Galkayo University, which looked at the effects of drought on livestock, said the average cost of a camel in Somalia is $700.
CNN can not independently verify the authenticity of the audio recording, which was purportedly made by Khalaf during a speech to followers in the southern port city of Merca.
Who cares. The guy obviously has a future in stand-up comedy. Except terrorists, who aren't intelligent enough to figure out not to take him seriously.
The U.S. State Department's Rewards for Justice program is offering $7 million for information on the location of Ahmed Abdi Aw-Mohamed, the founder of the Islamist group in Somalia.
He's probably in Pakistain somewhere, too. Check around the big military bases and in the government guest house. When can I get my reward?
This year, he and al Qaeda's leader, Ayman al-Zawahiri, released a joint video formally announcing a merger between the terror groups.
Yeesh. You'd think someone from the committee negotiating the merger would get upset enough to leak something. Perhaps someone from Obean's administration ought to infiltrate the group.
In announcing the bounties on Mohamed and his key associates Thursday, the State Department called al-Shabaab "a threat to the stability of East Africa and to the national security interests of the United States."
The State Department said it is also offering up to $5 million each for information leading to the location of four of Aw-Mohamed's associates, including Khalaf. In addition, it is offering up to $3 million each for two of the terror group's other leaders.
I'm beginning to suspect that they just name someone they don't like as one of their leaders, then have one of their own "turn him in".
