Buy a matchbox in Pak and help catch Osama
Matchboxes featuring Al Qaeda chief Osama bin Laden's
photograph and offering a reward of USD five million for information
leading to the capture of the world's most wanted terrorist are being
circulated in Pakistan's tribal North West Frontier Province.
"Contact
the nearest US embassy or consulate if you have any information about
Osama bin Laden," reads the text in Urdu on one side of the matchboxes
that are being circulated in places like provincial capital Peshwar.
Postal
and email addresses for sending information on the Al Qaida chief are
printed on the matchboxes. A leaflet within the matchboxes containing
30 matchsticks says bin Laden is wanted by the US government on charges
of killing 220 innocent citizens in Kenya and Tanzania on August 7,
1998.
The US government will pay up to five million dollars for
information that helps prove the charges levelled against bin Laden or
leads to his arrest in any country, the leaflet states.
It adds
that the informer's name will be kept secret and offers 'possible'
relocation to another place, The Daily Times reported on Wednesday.
Previously,
leaflets were distributed in Pakistan's tribal areas and T-shirts
featuring bin Laden's photo were distributed in Peshawar to encourage
people to provide information about the Al Qaida chief.
