Gadhafi’s regime offers reward for capturing a top opposition figure
Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi’s regime announced a large reward Wednesday for the capture of a top opposition figure, branding him “an agent spy.”
Weeks ago, that opposition figure — Mustafa Abdul-Jalil — was the country’s justice minister.
In an “urgent” banner on state television, the government said its General Administration for Criminal Investigation offers half a million Libyan dinars ($410,900 U.S.) “for whoever captures and hands over” the “agent spy” Abdul-Jalil, and “another offer of 200,000 Libyan dinars ($164,300 U.S.) for whoever offers information leading to his actual arrest.”
