FBI used photo of Spain lawmaker Gaspar Llamazares for updated Osama Bin Laden Wanted Poster

osama-bin-laden-2010Gaspar Llamazares, a Spanish lawmaker of Spain’s United Left party is angry at the U.S. Why? Because according Llamazares says the FBI used his photograph as part of a digitally enhanced image showing what Usama bin Laden might look like as of today. According to Fox News, Gaspar Llamazares is so outraged that he said he would no longer feel safe traveling to the United States after his hair and facial wrinkles were taken from the Internet and appeared on a wanted poster updating the previous photo of Bin-Laden from 1998.

“I was surprised and angered because it’s the most shameless use of a real person to make up the image of a terrorist,” Llamazares said at a news conference Saturday. “It’s almost like out of a comedy if it didn’t deal with matters as serious as bin Laden and citizens’ security.”

The FBI said in a statement Saturday that it was aware of the similarities between their age-progressed image “and that of an existing photograph of a Spanish public official.”

“The forensic artist was unable to find suitable features among the reference photographs and obtained those features, in part, from a photograph he found on the Internet,” the statement sent to The Associated Press said.
