| quote: | Bin Laden Said to Offer Gold for Killings
By MAGGIE MICHAEL, Associated Press Writer
CAIRO, Egypt - An audio recording attributed to Osama bin Laden (news - web sites) offered rewards in gold Thursday for the killing of top U.S. and U.N. officials in Iraq (news - web sites) or of the citizens of any nation fighting there.
The 20-minute recording, dated Thursday, appeared on two Web sites known for militant Islamic messages. The voice sounded like that of bin Laden and the words were laden with Quranic verse, but the authenticity of the recording could not immediately be verified.
The CIA (news - web sites) is looking into the statement, a spokesman said, speaking on the condition of anonymity. Bin Laden had never been known to offer rewards for missions he had described as followers' religious duty to carry out.
"You know that America promised big rewards for those who kill mujahedeen (holy warriors)," the speaker said. "We in al-Qaida organization 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."
He was referring to L. Paul Bremer, the chief U.S. administrator in Iraq, and top military officials. |
