In an audio recording released over the weekend, Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) has offered bounties to anyone who kills US Ambassador Gerald Feierstein and any US soldiers deployed inside Yemen.
The group says the bounties are good for six months, and are three kilograms of gold for Feierstein and $23,000 for any American soldier killed while inside Yemen.
The exact details of the US deployment to Yemen are unclear. The Pentagon admitted to US troops being attacked in Aden in March, the first time they’d even admitted troops were in Yemen at all. Since then special forces have deployed in “advisory” roles.
The US embassy has yet to comment on the bounties, but has repeatedly labeled AQAP as the “most dangerous” al-Qaeda auxiliary in the world.
'how long before thew Yemenis start offering rewards for "signature' Americans like the poor "signature' passengers on the jitney dismembered by kids from Arizona…
"SANAA, Yemen — The villagers who rushed to the road, cutting through rocky fields in central Yemen, found the dead strewn around a burning sport utility vehicle. The bodies were dusted with white powder — flour and sugar, the witnesses said — that the victims were bringing home from market when the aircraft attacked. A torched woman clutched her daughter in a lifeless embrace. Four severed heads littered the pavement.
"The bodies were charred like coal. I could not recognize the faces," said Ahmed al-Sabooli, 22, a farmer whose parents and 10-year-old sister were among the dead. "Then I recognized my mother because she was still holding my sister in her lap. That is when I cried."

MvGuy, you sound understandably angry about US actions abroad, but need to look at the good side: Al Qaeda has chosen capitalism in order to fight their war against America. Our leaders should feel honored. Using money to eliminate enemies is a long tradition of America, and to have an enemy such as al Qaeda adapt its bounty system can only be taken as a good sign. Just imagine the joy for American leaders if al Qaeda´s bounty system works better than theirs did! What goes around comes around.
