Taliban offer 100kg gold for killing cartoonist
ISLAMABAD: A top Taliban commander on Wednesday offered a reward of 100 kilogrammes of gold to anyone who kills the artist responsible for cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), the Afghan Islamic Press (AIP) reported.
If someone killed the cartoonist responsible for the cartoons in Denmark, the “Taliban will give 100 kilogrammes of gold,” Mullah Dadullah said in a telephone call to AIP from an unknown location.
Dadullah also said that the Taliban would give five kilogrammes of gold to anyone who killed a Danish, Norwegian or German soldier, AIP said. AIP said that Dadullah was operating as chief commander of the Taliban waging an anti-government insurgency in Afghanistan. The agency quoted Dadullah as saying that the Taliban’s list of would-be suicide bombers had grown since the publication of the cartoons. afp
