(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); The 37-year-old comedian has been forced to take serious security measures to protect himself and his family from a revenge attack after calling Al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden a "dirty wizard or a homeless Father Christmas" in his recent fim.

Baron Cohen's lawyers yesterday told the Daily Star he had been targeted by a group "that has claimed responsibility for recent terrorist attacks."

The faction has not been named, but is thought likely to be the armed Al Aqsa Martyrs' Brigade by whom Baron Cohen tries to get kidnapped while masquerading as Bruno in the film.

The flamboyant fashion reporter tells the group's supposed leader, Ayman Abu Aita: "I want to be famous, and I want the best guys in the business to kidnap me".

Abu Aita, who is seen angrily ordering "Bruno" to leave after he insults Bin Laden, said he was interviewed under false pretences and has claimed he is no longer part of the militant group.

The Martyrs' Brigade said in a statement: "This was a dirty use of our brother Ayman and we don't accept that the name of the Al Aqsa Martyrs' Brigade is part of the movie.

"We reserve the right to respond in a way we find suitable."

Baron Cohen also mocked the Palestinian militant group Hamas in the film, mistaking them for the chickpea paste hummus in a staged debate.

he did go a bit far with the comments even though they were funny lmao , but what do you expect, you go into a terrorists office thingy then give him comments like that about his "leader" bin laden, i mean hes not gonna take it lightly, in the movie you can tell by his facial expressions that he wanted to pop a cap in bruno's ass :rolleyes:

Lol the FBI' trying to catch terrorists for years and a comedian gets one just for a film lol.I saw this movie and Borat was definitely funnier.

for anyone who says they liked this movie plz post a couple reasons why you liked it... this has been the worst movie i have ever seen... and watching movies is like a hobby of mine =D

They take things too seriously but then again they would, wouldn't they.

I never saw it but thats funny there tryna do this.

Borat was hilarious... bruno.. not so much
