The United States Secretary of State Colin Powell on Sunday announced a $ 25 million reward for information leading to the apprehension of Osama bin Laden
"Twenty-five million dollars is a great deal of money, and I feel there might be somebody so motivated in Afghanistan who could supply the United States with the necessary information in exchange for the money," Powell told NBC television.
The announcement of the reward was contained in a detailed breakdown, published by the White House on Friday, of the allocation of $ 5.1 billion in emergency funds authorised by President George W Bush in the wake of the September 11 terror attacks in New York and Washington.
The nearly $ 25 million in fresh reward money comes on top of an earlier five-million-dollar reward offered by the US Federal Bureau of Investigation in 1999 for information leading to the arrest of bin Laden, following bomb attacks on US embassies in Kenya and Tanzania.
