'Al-Qaeda' offers gold for deaths


Rewards of gold are said to be on offer for the assassinations of top US and UN officials, according to a message purportedly from Osama Bin Laden.
The statement said 10kg (22lb) of gold would be given to anyone killing the US Iraq administrator Paul Bremer or senior military officers.

The same amount was offered for the death of UN chief Kofi Annan or his Iraq envoy Lakhdar Brahimi.

The message was published on a website known to be used by Islamist militants.

It was claimed that the statement was the transcript of an audio recording by the al-Qaeda leader.

Observers say the statement used language similar to previous Bin Laden statements, laden with Koranic verse.
