No good deed goes unpunished: America's multibillion-dollar liberation of Afghanistan has resulted in bounties being placed on U.S. servicemen and other citizens.
Anti-American bounty hunters in the eastern province of Paktia have handed out leaflets offering $50,000 for a Westerner delivered dead and $100,000 for a live one, said Maj. Iris Hurd of the U.S. Army's Information Operations division.
"Even pro-West Afghans who support the coalition are threatened with violence in the pamphlets," Fox News Channel reported today.
The "credible threats” could include attacks with rockets, mortars and car bombs, Maj. Bryan Hilferty said at Bagram air base in central Afghanistan.
