Pentagon offers rewards for information on regime leaders’ whereabouts
In addition to cash payments, US forces in Iraq also can give food, basic necessities and other incentives to encourage Iraqi citizens to “provide information and other assistance ... including the delivery of dangerous personnel and weapons,” said Defence Department spokeswoman Lieutenant Commander Barbara Burfeind.
