Syria offers bounty for foreign 'terrorists'

The Syiran government is offering a bounty to anyone who captures a foreign "terrorist" - the word authorities use for rebels.

In a brief statement on Syrian television, authorities said they would give 500,000 Syrian pounds to anyone who brought in a "non-Syrian terrorist" and 200,000 pounds to anyone who gave information on their whereabouts or helped apprehend them. In an indication that it would grant amnesty to rebels who informed on their comrades, state television added: "Their affairs will be settled if they are Syrians who have been wanted in recent events."
