Taliban puts $50m price on Bush's head

The Taliban has offered a $50m bounty for the capture of George W Bush.

The regime's head of security has made the announcement, and claims it is double what the US has placed on the head of bin Laden.

Mohammed Saeed Haqqani says Osama bin Laden could not have carried out the attacks in New York and Washington.

According to the Inquilab, he said: "Osama bin Laden does not have the means to carry out such acts."

He went on: "If the rich Americans have offered $25m for Osama we will give $50m to anyone who can capture Bush for us, in spite of being a poor country."

Haqqani claims all good Muslims will reject the opportunity to cash in on the $25m offered by the US.

"All Muslims will side with their faith. No offer can tempt us," he added.
