Aussie comedy group fake motorcade through security summit

Members of an Australian TV comedy show, one of them dressed as Osama Bin Laden, drove through two security checkpoints today before being stopped near the Sydney hotel where US President George Bush is staying.

The stunt embarrassed Sydney police and Australian politicians who have imposed the tightest security measures the city has seen for a summit of leaders from Pacific Rim countries.

Police arrested 11 cast and crew from the satirical TV programme 'The Chaser’s War on Everything' and impounded three vehicles, the Australian Broadcasting Corporation said on its website.
