Pakistani minister offers reward for death of filmmaker

As protests against an anti-Islam film continue around the world, a Pakistani minister has offered a reward to anyone that kills the maker of ‘Innocence of Muslims’.

Railways Minister Ghulam Ahmad Bilour told a news conference on Saturday:

"I announce today that this blasphemer, this sinner who has spoken nonsense about the holy Prophet, anyone who murders him, I will reward him with $100,000.”

"I invite the Taliban brothers and the al Qaeda brothers to join me in this blessed mission."

The Pakistani government has disassociated itself from the statement, according to a spokesperson for the Prime Minister.
