US Doubles bin Laden Bounty

The U.S. Senate has approved increasing the reward for information leading to the capture of al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden.

Lawmakers voted 87-1 Friday to double the amount the U.S. currently offers to $50 million. They have also asked for regular updates on the government＇s efforts to track him down.

The nearly unanimous vote comes one day after President Bush tried to downplay reports that al-Qaida has regained much of its strength, despite six years of U.S. operations against bin Laden and his terror network. Mr. Bush argued that al-Qaida has been weakened, but acknowledged it remains a threat.

Democratic lawmakers have argued that in pursuing the war in Iraq, the president has lost sight of the prime target in what the government calls the global war on terror.
