Osama bin Laden lighters on sale

Two men have been arrested by French police for selling cigarette lighters carrying pictures of Osama bin Laden next to the World Trade Centre.

Officers in Marseille took them in for questioning and later released them.

The men were both of Algerian origin and were also selling fake Prada and Louis Vuitton handbags in the streets.

Police said both men, aged 28 and 32, could have faced charges of "violence connected to the events recalled" on the lighters.

Bin Laden is considered the mastermind of the Sept 11 attacks, which flattened the Twin Towers and left more than 2,700 dead.
