Businessman Puts $1.3 Million Bounty on Gadhafi

At which point Dog the Bounty Hunter takes on the job of a lifetime.

It had to come to this at some point: A Libyan businessman is offering about $1.3 million to anyone who captures or kills Moammar Gadhafi, and the rebel government says it will grant amnesty to anyone in Gadhafi's inner circle who does the deed. Mustafa Abdel Jalil, the former Gadhafi minister who now leads the Transitional National Council, said as much today in Benghazi as fighting between Gadhafi loyalists and rebels rages acorss Tripoli. Gadhafi's whereabouts are unclear, although the discarded despot told Syrian radio that he's still alive, reiterating his promise that he won't leave the country unless he's dead. The bounty on Gadhafi's head will probably rankle the International Criminal Court and dozens of international observers calling for a fair trial to avoid violent retribution, but that case is a little more difficult to make when the guy whose face is on a “Wanted” poster is responsible for thousands upon thousands of deaths, imprisonments, and all manner of old-fashioned repression over the last four decades.
