A Spanish politician has said he was shocked to find out the FBI had used his photo for a digitally-altered image showing how Osama Bin Laden might look.
Gaspar Llamazares said he would no longer feel safe travelling to the US after his hair and parts of his face appeared on a most-wanted poster.
He said the use of a real person for the mocked-up image was "shameless".
The Spanish newspaper El Mundo said an FBI spokesman had admitted the agency had taken a picture from Google Images.

Ahahh, Breathe. This isn't a blasphemous topic.
It's about the awe..full...ness of God.
How often do you feel Awed by God?
How do you make a distinction between awe of other things and awe of God?
What makes you feel Awed by God?
What motivates you more; fear of God or awe of God?
If not by God, or along with God, what else awes you? Like the beauty of nature etc.

A mother accused of murdering her disabled son has described in court how she told him that she loved him before administering a heroin overdose.
Frances Inglis, 57, of Dagenham, Essex, denies murdering Thomas Inglis, 22, on 21 November 2008 and an earlier attempt to kill him on 4 September 2007.
Mr Inglis was fatally injected with heroin at his Hertfordshire care home.
The Old Bailey jury heard she injected his arm and thighs after saying: "Everything's going to be fine."
She was giving evidence about the moment she allegedly attempted to murder her son Tom in September 2007 in a bid to end his suffering.
'Went to sleep'
The Old Bailey has heard that Ms Inglis went on to succeed in killing the 22-year-old in November 2008.
