How much is Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon worth? Not nearly as much as Osama bin Laden, apparently. Doubtless taking its cue from the U.S. government's offer of a $25 million reward for the capture of bin Laden "dead or alive" -- in President Bush's words -- the Yemeni Chamber of Trade and Industry in Sada, north of the capital Sanaa, has offered a bounty to anyone who kills Sharon, according to Nadhir Mohammed Hasan, the Chamber's vice-president. The amount is hardly likely to divert any bounty hunters that might be looking for bin Laden: the Yemenis are offering a mere $573. The sum is part of the proceeds from a fundraiser among Sada's businessmen. Other funds would go to helping Palestinian refugees from the shattered Jenin camp. As an added incentive, Hasan announced that the chamber would build a house for the successful assassin.
