Bounty offered for ex-Kyrgyz leader

Kyrgyzstan's interim government has offered up to 100,000 dollar bounty for information leading to the arrest of the country's ousted President Kurmanbek Bakiyev.

The interim government, which came to power after fierce clashes and protests last month, called for the extradition of the deposed president from Belarus, accusing him of being behind the killing of 85 protesters.

"The provisional government of Kyrgyzstan has promised to pay from 20,000 dollars to 100,000 dollars for concrete assistance in locating and capturing these criminals," AFP quoted an interim government commission statement as saying on Monday.

The other key figures of the previous government being in the wanted list of the interim government are Bakiyev's son Maxim as well as Bakiyev's brother Zhanysh, who is also blamed for ordering the security forces to use weapons against protesters.

The neighboring state of Berlarus gave the deposed Kyrgyz president shelter following his ouster from power.
