Reward for Obama: 10 camels!

Somali Islamists respond to US bounty

Yes, Somali Islamists have responded in kind but they reckon Obama is only worth 10 camels. Hillary does worse, the pay off for getting her is only 10 chickens and 10 roosters. Full text at link.

First, the US State Department offered up to $33 million for help in catching the leaders of radical Islamist group Shabab, which controls much of Somalia. But Shabab has made a counter-proposal: a bounty of 10 camels for Barack Obama. ...

"I can assure you that these kind of things will never dissuade us from continuing the holy war against them," posted Fuad Mohamed Khalaf (bounty: $5 million) on a propagandist website.

He then referred to an incident in Koran, when a bounty of 100 camels was offered on the prophet Mohammed. The US President was then priced at one tenth of that.

Perhaps reflecting Shabab’s view of women, Hillary Clinton fetched an even lower reward: “10 hens and 10 roosters.”
