Abu Ayyub al-Masri Not Worth $5 million.....

The U.S. Quietly Slashes the Reward Posted for the Leader of Al Qaeda in Iraq

"The U.S. government has quietly withdrawn a $5 million reward it was offering for the killing or capture of Abu Ayyub al-Masri, named by Pentagon officials as the leader of Al Qaeda in Iraq.

Al-Masri had been one of America's most wanted figures in Iraq ever since his identity was revealed in 2006. But U.S. News has learned that the bounty for him was reduced and that he was unceremoniously dropped in late February from the State Department's Rewards for Justice Program, which offers cash payments for information that leads to the capture or killing of wanted terrorists.

Currently, the bounty for the Egyptian militant stands at $100,000, a more modest payout that is now covered by the separate—and decidedly lower profile—Department of Defense Rewards Program."

That’s gotta be a blow to old Abu's ego! How can he hold his head high with the other Islamofascists when he's been downgraded from $5M to a mere $100K? Hardly worth the dropping a dime on him. Oh, the humiliation!
