Ad Offers Reward for Bin Laden
Story aired: Wednesday, March 02, 2005



In Pakistan, a new commercial is getting play on Pakistani TV stations. Mug shots of Osama bin Laden and his lieutenants flash by over images of bombed out cars and dead civilians. Viewers are encouraged to call a toll free tip line.

It's a Crimestoppers-type-ad, and it's produced by the U.S. government.

Scott Baldauf is a correspondent for the Christian Science Monitor and he joins us from Karachi, Pakistan.
