Denial: Lord Ahmed
PA
A LABOUR peer yesterday said he was “shocked and horrified” at claims he ordered a £10million bounty for the capture of President Barack Obama.
Lord Nazir Ahmed was suspended from the party after a Pakistani newspaper reported he allegedly offered cash for the capture of Mr Obama and his predecessor George Bush.
But the peer said the claim was “made of lies”. He added: “It was a discussion about people investing in Pakistan and yes, I did talk about illegal wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
“But I did not mention any bounty or President Obama. I will answer all the allegations made to the party leadership.”
Respect MP George Galloway, winner of the Bradford West by-election, said the suspension of Lord Ahmed could prove to be “suicide as far as the Muslim vote goes”.
