| Congressman wants the US to double the bounty on Binny |
| 2004-01-14 |
| The reward for finding Osama bin Laden, the elusive leader of the Al Qaeda network and the world’s most wanted man, should be doubled to $50 million (BD18.9m), a US congressman visiting Afghanistan said yesterday. Mark Kirk, a Republican congressman, also said US-led forces in Afghanistan could remain there for more than a decade to help stabilise the war-shattered and chronically unstable country. |

| #3 If you are a person living in abject poverty, why would $50M be more attractive than $25M or even $5M. If you are trying to encourage an organization to turn UBL, be sure you have a rough idea of how the extra $25M will be spent. You can buy a whole lot of C-4 with that kind of dough. |
