Most-wanted: A new U.S. "most-wanted" campaign is offering up to $200,000 for information on a dozen Taliban and Al-Qaida leaders fueling a rise in bombings and suicide attacks in Afghanistan. To help track down 12 insurgent commanders, posters and billboards are to go up around eastern Afghanistan with their names and pictures. Rewards ranging from $20,000 to $200,000 are available for information leading to their capture.

Teen hanged: In southern Helmand Province, militants hanged a 15-year-old boy for having American money in his pocket and stuffed five $1 bills into his mouth as a warning to others not to use U.S. currency. Dollars are commonly used in Afghanistan alongside the afghani, the local currency.
