"Shot man a terrorist: ex-friend"

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "Michael ceased contact with Mr Heshmaty because he felt unsafe around him.
"He was obsessed with political programs and anything about George Bush and Osama bin Laden," he said.
"Any time bin Laden came on the TV he used to stand up beating his chest and say, 'My brother, my brother. I love this man, I would die for this man'."
He had told Michael he was trying to obtain plastic explosives and guns.
Mr Heshmaty had also talked about buying a small plane and laughed about the September 11 attacks."
You're welcome Cindy. Good reason to have someone as an ex-friend if you feel unsafe around them. Obsession with OBL is certainly a valid reason for exiting his friendship with that guy.
