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.

Better yet, will al Qaeda give me any gold if I kill a Hamas leader?

Assuming this is a legit fatwa by bin laden, it goes to show that appeasement of these filthy camel humpers does no good. Kofi and the boys at the UN have bent over backwards to distance themselves from us and to condemn our military action in Iraq, yet al qaeda still wants him dead. Go figure.

Its time to offer 720 virgins in paradise to anyone who martyrs himself by blowing up Bin La-din.

Never hire a professional to do a fanatic's work.

There goes my idea of taking care of two birds with one stone (lousy fine print).
