They killed Daniel Pearl. Now they threaten the lives of those who dare to tell the tale. From the Daily Mail, with thanks to Jeffrey Imm:
Hollywood golden couple Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have stepped up security after becoming potential terrorist targets.
The movie stars - who are currently in India - have been receiving death threats from terror group al-Qaeda.
Pitt, 42, and Jolie, 31, are thought to have been targeted because of the political nature of Jolie's new movie A Mighty Heart.
The film is based on the life of Daniel Pearl - a Wall Street Journal reporter who was killed at the hands of al-Qaeda militants in Pakistan According to reports, British security experts flew to Pune, India earlier this week to protect the couple.
The fear of terror threats is also thought to be the reason behind the decision to shoot the movie in India, not in Pakistan where the events took place.
In A Mighty Heart - based on the book of the same name, Jolie plays Pearl's widow Marianne, who was pregnant when her husband was kidnapped.

Although lefties, still targets.
Wake up Hollywood!
Bush's fault.
Give them time, they'll figure out a way to blame this on the USA.
The Religion of Peace strikes again.

Well, if Branjelina would have studied hard they wouldn't be stuck in India.
This could be true - or - it could be a cheap publicity stunt to promote a movie. I'd like a military analyst to review the death threats. Then, I'll believe it. I don't forget Angelina Jolie's role at the summit wherein News Guy asserted that the military was targeting journalists. Bloggers who attended this event provided quite a bit of detail.
How do we know it was al-Qaeda and not Jennifer and Billy Bob or even Madonna jealous of Bradgelina’s baby adoption success?
Of course it could be a disgruntled movie reviewer doing anything possible to prevent having to sit through another Angelina Jolie movie.
Talk about hubris. Hollywood “stars” are beyond belief.
