A fake Oussama Ben Laden causes a fray during a cricket match 
[ 05/11/2002 10:41 ] HONG KONG (AP) -- A Pakistani supporter who has his face 
covered with a mask of Oussama Ben Laden paraded in front of a platform of 
witnesses Sunday during the final of a tournament of cricket, before being the 
target of bottles throwings and of beer cans. The "fray" lasted only a few 
minutes and nobody was wounded in this incident. 
The police forces did not inflict any "penalty" to the implied people. 
The incident burst when the supporter put on his mask and went in front of the 
platform of Western witnesses by agitating the Pakistani flag at the time of 
the England-Pakistan final, reported the director of the tournament Clive 
Howard. 
"Somebody in crowd threw beer on the man. All his friends then ran and started 
to throw cans and bottles of water on the group of witnesses ", he added. The 
organizers called the police forces, but they arrived too late to arrest the 
fake Oussama Ben Laden.
