The US Senate has voted 87-1 to double the reward for the death or capture of al-Qaeda chief Osama bin Laden to $50m.
The Senate vote comes amid warnings that al-Qaeda has rebuilt its capacity to mount attacks and is trying to insert agents into the US.
"It has been six years, and al-Qaeda is now rebuilding its terrorist training camps," said Senator Byron Dorgan.
Intelligence analysts told Congress on Wednesday that al-Qaeda had created a safe haven in remote parts of Pakistan.
A leaked draft of a new US intelligence report says al-Qaeda is at its strongest since just before the 11 September 2001 attacks on the US.

While rewards have assisted in bringing Khalid Sheikh Muhammad, Aimal Kansi and maybe others to justice....Bin Laden has had a multi-million dollar bounty on him since 1999.It has been 8 years and it haven't worked yet.
