Sasha Baron Cohen's alter ego Bruno is attracting more attention, for all the wrong reasons.

Ayman Abu Aita, a former member of a middle eastern militant group is preparing to sue the actor for labelling him a terrorist.

In the film, flamboyant Bruno asks Abu Aita, to abduct him, saying he is "the best in the business".

Abu Aita's lawyer, says he's never been involved in terrorist activities.

He fears this, and the movie's homosexual references, could get him into trouble in Israel and Palestine.
