Islamabad, Feb 22, IRNA -- A private television channel in Pakistan on Monday night telecast an ad showing head money for the arrest of Osama bin Laden and Aiman Zawahri. Osama, Zawahri, Mullah Omar and eleven others were shown while in the background, unknown people were shown being killed. Al-Zawahri is considered to be advisor and doctor of Osama bin Laden. Mulla Muhammad Omar, was the chief of Taliban militia in Afghanistan. He is accused of sheltering bin Laden`s al-Qaeda in Afghanistan for several years before the September 11, 2001 attacks. The channel showed two telephone numbers, one local while the other of the United States. Likewise, the ad showed one web address and an email address. A leading Urdu-language daily, of the same company which ran ad on television, printed two ads with similar information and photographs last month on January 1 and 7. The head money for Osama, alleged in the ad to be behind the 9/11 attacks on the New York WTC twin towers and Pentagon in September 2001, was US dollar 25 million. Similar amount has been offered for providing information about Zawahri. Head money for Mullah Omar is US dollar 10 million while total head money offered for these three and 11 others is dollar 115 million. With an exception of Taliban leader Mullah Omar, names suggest that the wanted are from Arab origin or coming from Arab states. These persons are alleged to be involved in blasts at US embassies in Tanzania and Kenya and harming American interests and attacking its nationals. Other men in the ad include Mudhat Mursi al-Syed Omar, Saif ul Adil, Anis al-Lebbi, Abdullah Ahmed Abdullah, Mustafa Muhammad Fazil, Mustafa Syet Maryam Nasr, Ali Syed Muhammad Mustafa al-Bakri, Ahmed Muhmmad Hamid Ali, Sheikh Ahmed Saleem Swedan, Muhsen Musa Atvi and Adnan Gal-Shukre Juma.
