Peer suspended over 'bounty'
Labour peer Lord Ahmed has denied claims he offered a £10 million "bounty" for the capture of US president Barack Obama and said he was "surprised" that he had been suspended by the party.
Alleged 'bounty' comments 'totally unacceptable'
Pakistan's Express Tribune newspaper says the remarks were made at a reception in Haripur on Friday.
It claims the peer called the US bounty on Saeed "an insult to all Muslims".
