Saddam is offering money to soldiers for infilicing kills /captures on our troops
Saddam puts a price on British and US heads
Saddam Hussein has put a price on the heads of Allied troops.
Saddam is offering a reward for any Iraqi who shoots down a British or US aircraft, or kills or captures a pilot or soldier.
Any Iraqi who kills an Allied serviceman will receive 25 million dinars (about £9,000).
But the reward will be doubled if the enemy is taken alive, said Saddam's decree, published by the state-run Iraqi News Agency.
The decree contained a list of reward categories:
100 million dinars (£35,500) for shooting down an enemy fighter plane.
50 million dinars (£17,750) for shooting down a helicopter.
10 million dinars (£3,500) for intercepting a missile.
An Iraqi who shoots down an enemy fighter jet or helicopter is to get 50 million dinars (£18,000) if the pilot is captured and 25 million dinars (£9,000) if the pilot is killed.
The same reward applies for capturing or killing enemy soldiers on the ground, the Iraqi leader decreed.

Seeing as this is the general Iraq thread, a young boy has been killed in anti war protests in Yemen.

I'm sorry, I don't follow. I was posting a news flash that came up on the BBC. No irony.
