Usama bin Ladin now worth 50 millions US$
Isabelle Hontebeyrie
The US House of Representatives passed a bill increasing the reward for information leading to the arrest of the al-Qaeda leader.
The news, reported by
Al-Jazeera, states the bill "gives the State Department authority to raise the reward for information on bin Ladin to $50 million from $25 million and raises the maximum reward for information on suspected terrorists or narco-terrorists to $25 million from $5 million.
To better appeal to people in remote, rural areas, the bill says rewards could be paid in the form of vehicles, appliances, commodities and other goods instead of cash.
The bill also calls on the Bush administration to draw up a plan to maximize publicity on the reward for information leading to bin Ladin's capture.
The Senate has not yet taken up the version of the bill."
