‘10 camels for news of Obama’
11 Jun 2012 7:01 AM IST
An Islamist militant group in Somalia is offering rewards of chickens and camels to anyone who can provide them with information on the whereabouts of US President Barack Obama and secretary of state Hillary Clinton, in a move that is a mockery of the the millions of dollars the United States has offered for leaders of the al-Qaida affiliate.
Fuad Muhammad Khalaf of the Shabaab al-Mujahideen Movement in Somalia made the offer after Friday prayers, according to an agency which monitors militant organisations.
‘Whoever reveals the hideout of the idiot Obama will be rewarded with 10 camels, and whoever reveals the hideout of the old woman Hillary Clinton will be rewarded 10 chickens and 10 roosters,’ the agency quoted Khalaf as saying.
On Thursday, the US state department had offered a reward of $5 million each for information of Khalaf and three associates, as well as $7 million for information about al Shabaab founder and commander Ahmed Abdi aw-Mohamed. A bounty of $3 million was offered for the location of two other officials of the organization. Al-Qaida said in February the al Shabaab group, which was branded a terrorist organization by the US government in 2008, had joined its ranks.
