ISLAMABAD, Pakistan, May 28 (UPI) -- Pakistan issued a dead or alive "rogues list" Thursday, putting prices on the heads of 21 top Taliban operating in the Swat Valley.

The most-wanted chart, complete with mug shots, went to newspapers across the country with radical cleric Maulana Fazlullah, the architect of the uprising in Swat, heading the list with a reward of 5 million rupees ($62,320), PTI reported.

Also on the rogues list are Taliban spokesman Muslim Khan and three other prominent Taliban in Swat -- Commander Qari Mushtaq, Mehmood Khan and Bukht Farzand -- each with a reward of 3 million rupees ($37,392) on their heads.

Interior Minister Rehman Malik said the group included those responsible for Wednesday's massive bomb attack in Lahore.
