BILLIONAIRES SET UP BOUNTY FOR BIN LADEN



LOS ANGELES (Wireless Flash) – A group of five Los Angeles telecommunications billionaires is taking steps to put a bounty on Osama bin Laden’s head. L.A.-based PR man Edward Lozzi says he was recently approached by the wealthy group to publicize the effort, which could raise millions of dollars to hire mercenaries to dispose of the accused terrorist mastermind. Lozzi won’t name bin Laden’s bounty backers just yet, but says a press conference will be held when the project is off the ground and a website will be opened to accept donations from the public. So far, the publicist has received more than 1000 e-mails from Americans – with most asking where they can send their donations.
