smirk puts ad in Pak paper looking for Bin Laden -- really

http://www.hindustantimes.com/news/7242_1229121,00180007.htm


'Most wanted' ad for Laden in Pak paper!


The United States placed a newspaper advertisement on Friday offering rewards of millions of dollars for information leading to the arrest of Osama bin Laden and other Al-Qaeda kingpins.

The half-page ad in the Urdu daily Mashriq, published in the Pakistani city of Peshawar, near the Afghan border, puts a 5-million-dollar price on the head of the 9/11 mastermind and his deputy Ayman al-Zawahiri.

The ad is the second in a campaign by the US embassy in Pakistan, a key US ally, to promote Washington's "Rewards for Justice" programme.

1. Reward money
It actually makes sense to let people know about the large monetary reward. Sounded funny to me at first too, but I can see why they'd put the ad out.

2. It should be obvious by now that money is not a motivator
The people who know where OBL is will not turn him in for any amount of money.
