British Lord Nazir Ahmed put a £10 million ($16 million) bounty on both President Barack Obama and former President George W. Bush Friday, according to The Express Tribune, an English language Pakistani newspaper.
Nazir, who is of Pakistani heritage and a member of the British House of Lords, reportedly made the comments while at a reception in Haripur, a Pakistani city 4o miles north of Islamabad. Nazir told the audience that he was putting the bounty out for the capture of the American leaders in response to the bounty placed on Hafiz Muhammad Saeed by the United States.
“If the U.S. can announce a reward of $10 million for the captor of Hafiz Saeed, I can announce a bounty of 10 million pounds on President Obama and his predecessor George Bush,” Nazir reportedly said.

ReplyDeleteWhat am I missing?
I can understand the bounty on obamie , should have done that years ago.
ReplyDeleteEither his math is off,he's leveraging,or he has financial backing.His annual salary in US equivalence is $300,000.I would like to know how he plans to come up with $16,000,000.Maybe he hit the Irish Sweepstakes.
