    Saudi royal ups bounty for Israeli soldier to $1mn

    RIYADH, Saudi Arabia (AP) — A member of Saudi Arabia's royal family has increased to $1 million a reward offered to anyone who captures an Israeli soldier to swap him for Palestinian prisoners.

    Prince Khaled bin Talal, brother of billionaire Prince Alwaleed bin Talal, told kingdom's al-Daleel TV station by telephone Saturday that his offer was in retaliation for alleged Israeli threats to Sheik Awadh al-Qarani, a prominent Saudi cleric who promised $100,000 for capturing an Israeli soldier.

    The Saudi offers follow in the wake of the release of Israeli soldier Sgt. Gilad Schalit, who was held by Hamas in Gaza for more than five years. Israel has agreed to free over 1,000 prisoners in exchange.

        One of the largest oil deposits is in Montana, about 124 years worth. Obama does not want to drill. He is hoping some new car battery will be online in three years that will give people about 129 miles a day per charge. So much for any long vacation trips. Let the market decide!!!! Drill baby drill!!!

        They live by a 7th century doctrine. A prophet : doesn't mean he predicted about something in the future? Muhammad never predicted any future event. False prophet. Cult of Satanic worship and you wonder why they act the way they do?

        They had a shot at the west a long time ago, we let them live. next time they will not be so lucky.

      The Middle East where revenge is the lifeblood. Never have peace there because they can never bury the hatchet and move on in a civilized way. Too much emotion.

        Plenty of Emotional Politics in the US too these days
      • don't kno geronimo 6 mths ago
        In the US emotional politics rule the day fueled by ideology - less big government regulation for greedy corporations, but government regulation to stop gay rights...
    • Mark  •  Placerville, United States  •  6 mths ago
      Perfect reason for no prisoner swap. You can not use prisoners for collateral. It just invites worse conditions. In a civilized world this would have been an even swap. But Arabs (muslims) are seldom trustworthy, and this proves it. The idea of money for men is truly a crime and the shieks are the guilty ones. What a terrible world they project, how can anyone now say they are peaceful muslims. How can we ever expect peace?
      • Crusader I 6 mths ago
        Who ever said the muslims were civilized?
      • stephen lundquist 6 mths ago
        get the idea they want piece off the table,
        this is a war, fight to win or start moving everyone from Israel to the USA
    • Here's what I think.. ...  •  Malden, United States  •  6 mths ago
      why doesn't this so-called prince give away money to Palestinians who are poor, instead of making this stupid offer that will probably result in the killing of Palestinians trying to take up this foolish challenge! How about giving money to the Palestinians because they need a lifeline. And stop putting more fuel into the Israeli-Palestinian conflict!

      Sad thing is...to pay for this bounty, a barrel of oil just went up $.40......
    • Harley  •  Jacksonville, United States  •  6 mths ago
      Israel should return the favor by putting a bounty on the head of the Saudi prince and his immediate family.
    • Having Fun  •  6 mths ago
      And we call the Saudi's our friends!
      With friends like this who needs enemies.
    • Mike  •  6 mths ago
      that's what happens when you give in. They come back wanting more... scumbags
    • Mike M  •  6 mths ago
      Israel should kidnap this prince.
    • ucnada  •  7 mths ago
      israel should issue an international arrest warrant for prince Khaled bin Talal. bring him to israel for planning & conspiring to kidnap israeli government people. that's a terrorist act. planning is illegal when you put up money.

      I was going to say something bad about muslims, but they do a better job of that than I ever could
    • Jose the AMERICAN  •  Los Angeles, United States  •  6 mths ago
      It will take some time, but Mousad will do their work. The Saudis will be burying another member of the Royal family.
    • Red Sox Sux  •  Jersey City, United States  •  6 mths ago
      What Israel needs to do is tell the the Arabs that, if they capture an Israeli soldier, and do not release him unharmed within 24 hours, they (the Israeli's) will execute 1000 mudslum prisoners every day until their soldier is released. Also let them know that if they harm or kill the Israeli soldier all of the #$%$sucking muzzies being held will be executed.
