Police Seize 'Obscene' Bin Laden T-Shirt
Dec 2, 7:54 am ET
SYDNEY (Reuters) - Australian police said on Monday they had confiscated a T-shirt showing President Bush and al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden engaged in a sexual act and were investigating whether it broke a 1931 obscenity law. A police spokeswoman said the T-shirt, on sale in a market in the eastern state of Queensland, was seized after a complaint from the public.
"I was told there was just the one (T-shirt). We had heard that it was manufactured in Bali but we're not 100 percent sure," said the spokeswoman.
She gave no details about the sexual act depicted on the shirt.
Bin Laden T-shirts, some humorous and others risque, appeared in many parts of Asia after last year's September 11 attacks on New York and Washington that U.S. authorities blamed on his radical Islamic al Qaeda network.
But few shirts have shown up in Australia, a resolute supporter of Bush's "war on terror" and vocal backer of firm action against Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein.
