Must not mock Osama bin Laden?

Canada’s military is investigating the circumstances surrounding a video played during a formal dinner that featured an unidentified member of the Canadian Forces pretending to be Osama bin Laden’s brother, the commander of the Royal Canadian Air Force said.

That’s right, as in the brother of the al-Qaeda leader behind a terrorist attack that killed thousands of Americans on Sept. 11, 2001.

Lieutenant-General Yvan Blondin said in a statement sent to The Associated Press on Thursday that he was recently informed of complaints that the video was inappropriate and culturally insensitive. He said those involved may face administrative, disciplinary or corrective action.

The man playing bin Laden’s brother wears brown makeup, a turban, a fake beard and speaks with a thick accent in a four-minute excerpt of the video obtained by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation.

A woman playing the role of a news anchor interviews the character, who jokes that his brother always gets all the credit for their work. He refuses to reveal where bin Laden is hiding.
