Al-Qaeda group says Obama, Clinton worth only chickens, camels

A Somali Islamist militant group is offering rewards of chickens and camels for information on the whereabouts of President Barack Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, mocking the millions of dollars the United States has offered for leaders of the Al-Qaeda affiliate.

Fuad Muhammad Khalaf of the Shabaab al-Mujahideen Movement in Somalia made the offer after Friday prayers, according to the Site Intelligence Group, which monitors militant organizations.

'Whoever reveals the hideout of the idiot Obama will be rewarded with 10 camels, and whoever reveals the hideout of the old woman Hillary Clinton will be rewarded 10 chickens and 10 roosters,' he said, according to SITE.

On Thursday, the United States State Department offered a reward of US$5 million (S$6.4 million) each for the whereabouts of Khalaf and three associates, as well as US$7 million for information about al Shabaab founder and commander Ahmed Abdi aw-Mohamed.
