Taliban offers reward for killing of cartoonist (AFP) Updated: 2006-02-09 15:30

A top Taliban commander offered a reward of 100 kilograms of gold to anyone who kills the person responsible for "blasphemous" cartoons of the Prophet Mohammed, the Afghan Islamic Press (AIP) reported.

If someone killed the cartoonist responsible for the cartoons in Denmark, the "Taliban will give 100 kilograms (244 pounds) of gold," Mullah Dadullah said in a telephone call to AIP from an unknown location, the Pakistan-based private news agency reported on Wednesday.

Dadullah also said the Taliban would give five kilograms of gold to anyone who killed a Danish, Norwegian or German soldier, AIP said.

AIP said Dadullah was operating as chief commander of the Taliban waging an anti-government insurgency in Afghanistan.

The agency quoted Dadullah as saying the Taliban's list of would-be suicide bombers had grown since the publication of the cartoons.

Eleven demonstrators have been killed since Friday in violent protests over the cartoons in Afghanistan.

Let's just kill off the Taliban instead and collect any gold they might have.

The cartoonist should make a counter offer for the killing of the Taliban.

100 kilograms is actually 220 pounds.

Isn't gold actually weighed in troy ounces? 12 troy oz = 1 lb troy. No idea how much that is in Eurograms, but it sounds like somebody's investments need to diversify.

And I'll pay a wooden nickle to anyone that kills a Taliban. After all, that is only what they are worth.

Hey, Mr. Taliban, the guy who actually drew the cartoons lives in New York. Name of Rall, first named Ted. But please don't hurt him or anything!
