Al Qaeda offers bounty for killing U.S. diplomat

CBS News
SANAA, Yemen Al Qaeda's branch in Yemen has announced that it will pay tens of thousands of dollars to anyone who kills the U.S. ambassador in Sanaa or an American soldier in the country.
An audio produced by the group's media arm, the al-Malahem Foundation, and posted on militant websites Saturday said it offered three kilograms of gold, worth $160,000, for killing the ambassador.
The group said it will pay 5 million Yemeni riyals ($23,000) to anyone who kills an American soldier inside Yemen.
It did not say how the bounty could be collected, but said the offer is valid for six months.
The bounties were set to "inspire and encourage our Muslim nation for jihad," the statement said.
Washington considers al Qaeda in Yemen to be the group's most dangerous branch.

Actually there is a huge difference, but I fully expect you to side with others that take your side of opinions. No problem. But the fact that you cannot see a difference between childish name calling and directing an opinionated jab at our failed leadership, is a telling sign.
If you wish to debate policies and cause-and-effects based upon historical relevance, then perhaps we could discuss. Perhaps we could start with what happened in Benghazi in September to where we are right now with Muslim Extremists.
So why don't you move if you're so upset with your view of life?
Are you sure your name shouldn't be cptdouche?

We do not hear the voice of "moderate Islam" condemning these terrorists, as being murderous heretics; so most non-Muslims conclude that justifying murder is an integral part of the Mohammedan's belief system....and that Islam itself is a form of terrorism....that Islam is nothing more than wickedness and mass hysteria.
Incredibly a billion and a half human beings have been enslaved by this spiritually bereft, oppressive madness. Now that these lunatics have nuclear weapons, it is simply a matter of time before they destroy Western civilization as we know it...Holy Wars Suck.
