ASSOCIATED PRESS: KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) — A religious cleric in western Afghanistan said Wednesday he is offering a $300,000 bounty to anyone who kills the maker of an anti-Islam film that has angered Muslims around the world.
Mir Farooq Hussini, a cleric and the spokesman for an organization representing about 450 religious schools in Herat province, made the latest bounty offer.
U.S. federal prosecutors said Mark Basseley Youssef, 55, an Egyptian-born Christian who is now a U.S. citizen, is behind the film, which portrays Islam's Prophet Muhammad as a religious fraud, womanizer and child molester. » | AP | Wednesday, October 10, 2012
