The Pakistani PM's spokesman has condemned a minister's $100,000 (£61,600) reward for the killing of the maker of an amateur anti-Islam video.

Shafqat Jalil told the BBC the government "absolutely disassociated" itself from comments by Railways Minister Ghulam Ahmad Bilour.

The film, produced in the US, has led to a wave of protests in the Muslim world and many deaths.

The bounty offer came a day after at least 20 died in clashes in Pakistan.

Friday's violence, which saw protesters pitted against armed police, occurred in cities throughout Pakistan, with Karachi and Peshawar among the worst hit.

"I will pay whoever kills the makers of this video $100,000," the minister said. "If someone else makes other similar blasphemous material in the future, I will also pay his killers $100,000.

Its just the Paki Govt trying to save face, even if that's possible anymore. Behind the scenes, they would probably throw more money into the pool!

They smell the millions they rape from the US taxpayer at stake.

Something tells me the bounty still stands, these guys perfected doublespeak.

The Pakistani PM doesn't even run the country anyway, the ISI does.

Should have left out the emoticon with the tongue hanging out.
Truth is sometimes best stated bluntly.

The ISI is also full of Islamicist sympathizers who hate anything western, regardless of what they do.

They are happy killing us (diplomatically and literally) for our hard earned money, so they can use it to buy weapons from Russia, to use against us eventually.

Mark my words, we will have to deal with them, most likely at the behest of India, who they will eventually attack.

They got nukes too...

Ohhh thats why we bribe them, But Saddam and his alleged gas bombs were evil.

We bribe them because we fear them, chew on that awhile. We knew during the cold war Russia valued its own well being (and vice versa), these islamics do not, they are bred to die killing infidels... (socially and religously)

Chew on that as you pay your taxes, Im sure someone will make it Americas fault (as always), go on, I am waiting.

I agree with most of what you say but I suspect Pakistan is fearful/wary of India...no love lost between them too and Indias armed forces dwarf those of Pakistan.

I think the most likely thing to happen is more Mumbai style attacks which the ISI turn a blind eye to. Firstly though they've got to help overthrow the Karzai government and put their own friends in power to secure the Peshawar border, that shouldn't take too long though.
