Bin Laden, an Islamic fundamentalist and the son of a Saudi billionaire, has been on the FBI's Ten Most Wanted Fugitive list since 1999, and the U.S. State Department has offered a $5 million reward for his arrest.

U.S. prosecutors say bin Laden is the leader of al Qaeda (Arabic for "the Base"), a worldwide network blamed for both successful and failed strikes on U.S. targets. These include the millennium bombing plot, last year's attack on the USS Cole in Yemen and the nearly simultaneous bombings of the U.S. embassies in Tanzania and Kenya.

Turn this mans dead body over to us or you will no longer rule that country!

After the wanton slaughter of tens of thousands of innocent Americans in a barbaric act of unspeakable cruelity, it sure as heck won't matter whether or not the Taliban turn this homocidal maggot over to us now: The Taliban is history. End of story.

This bounty needs to be upped quite a bit - say the tens or hundreds of millions. Enough to get the attention of just one of bin Ladin's "associates" to get him to give up the bastard's location.
