Bin Laden offers gold bounty for coalition deaths

OSAMA BIN LADEN yesterday offered gold for anyone killing US or UN officials while Iraqi worshippers were told anyone who captures a female British soldier can keep her as a slave.

An audio recording attributed to Osama bin Laden offers rewards in gold for the killing of top US and UN officials in Iraq or of the citizens of any nation fighting there.

The 20-minute recording, dated Thursday and which the CIA said was probably authentic, appeared on two websites known for militant Islamic messages.
