An Afghan cleric has offered rewards totalling $400,000 for anyone killing the producer of a US-made anti-Islam film and a French cartoonist. "I have offered $300,000 to anyone who kills the anti-Islam film producer and $100,000 for killing the French cartoonist," Mir Faroq Husaini, a prominent cleric in the western province of Herat, told AFP Sunday.
Husaini said he had first announced the reward during a sermon on Friday in a large mosque in the city. "I will sell all my properties, including my lands in Herat, to collect the money," he said.
