A chilling offer attributed to Osama bin Laden has said he will give gold to anyone who kills the heads of foreign agencies in Iraq.
The statement said the al Qaeda boss had put a bounty on the heads of Paul Bremer, the top US civilian in Iraq, and United Nations chief Kofi Annan.
The audio warning, carried on a website, said the greater prize for those who carried out the assassinations would be martyrdom.
It said: "You know that America promised big rewards for those who kill mujahedeen [holy warriors].
"We in al Qaeda will guarantee, God willing, 10,000 grams of gold to whoever kills the occupier Bremer, or the American chief commander or his deputy in Iraq."
The statement also promised the same reward for the deaths of secretary general Mr Annan and his envoy to Iraq, Lakhdar Brahimi.
It went on: "For security reasons, the rewards will be given as soon as conditions permit, God willing.
"As for those who die while killing an occupying solider, the great prize will be for us and for him when God grants him martyrdom
"The smaller prize [gold] will be for his family."
The transcript also denounced US plans to hand sovereignty to Iraqis on June 30, calling them a trick to end the resistance that has killed hundreds of Coalition soldiers.

Gold is about $12.50/gram. He's only offering $125,000. Bremer should be insulted.

This caught my eye.....they are really freaked by June 30th..
The transcript also denounced US plans to hand sovereignty to Iraqis on June 30, calling them a trick to end the resistance that has killed hundreds of Coalition soldiers.
July 1st is the date that it becomes Al Qaeda waging war on fellow muslims.......and that scares them witless.

The current price on Osama's head is $50 million. His butt is worth slightly more because it seems to be doing all the talking.

10,000 grams...that's $1.25 mill at $12.50/gm. 10 x 10,000 = 100,000, so 12.5 x 10,000 = 125,000.
