Osama Bin Lego
Good grief, just what young jihadi's need for Christmas.
A RANGE of Lego-style fighting figures — including an al-Qaeda terrorist — has been slammed by religious leaders.The masked follower of 9/11 mastermind Osama Bin Laden comes with a rocket launcher, assault rifle and grenades.
The £9.50 two-inch figures are customised from Lego toys by makers BrickArms, who hope for a Christmas hit. They also include a Nazi major, bearing the chilling SS insignia, and a stormtrooper brandishing two grenade launchers[...]LEGO UK today issued a statement saying it is not associated with the toys being sold by BrickArms which have been customised without its knowledge or permission.
It continued: "BrickArms is not licensed by LEGO UK to customise LEGO figures and has no links to the LEGO brand.
Click "Lego" terrorist for more figures/weapons.
