US likely to double bounty for bin Laden to 50 million dollars!

WASHINGTON (AFP) - The administration of US President George W. Bush is likely to double the bounty on Al-Qaeda chief Osama bin Laden to 50 million dollars.

The Bush administration has been hunting the Al-Qaeda chief since the September 11, 2001 attacks on New York and Washington with no success, despite US troops scouring Afghanistan's mountainous border with Pakistan where bin Laden is believed to be hiding.

Time magazine said Sunday the White House is likely to hike the bounty on bin Laden by the end of February acting on legislation passed in November by Congress, in a report to hit newsstands this week.

The report said the US State Department will also be mounting a new publicity blitz in a bid to snare the Saudi dissident.
