Texas Billboards Feature Osama, Arafat

Texas Radio Station Features Bin Laden, As Well As Saddam and Arafat, in Billboards

FORT WORTH, Texas Jan 21, 2005 — A Texas radio station has sparked some controversy by erecting not-so-flattering billboards featuring al Qaida head Osama bin Laden, former Iraqi President Saddam Hussein and late Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat.

The signs say "Two down, one to go," an apparent reference to Arafat's death and Saddam's toppling by a U.S.-led invasion last year. There are also signs that have bin Laden alone that say "Some people want you dead." There are about 20 signs around the Dallas-Fort Worth area.

"We wanted to get people's attention," said Lon Bason, general manager of KLIF-AM talk radio station. "We knew this would strike a chord."

On that score, he's apparently succeeded. The station has received hundreds of e-mails and phone calls commenting on the signs. Bason says the comments are split between positive and negative.
