Restaurant named after Osama attracting Olympians in Rio

RIO DE JANEIRO:  Olympians are heading to a watering hole with a name which is rather unusual for such an establishment.

According to a report published in the New York Times, the Bar do Bin Laden named after former al Qaeda chief Osama bin Laden is where athletes are heading to.  The bar got its name because the owner Jose Felipe de Araujo resembled Osama bin Laden.

The New York Times quoted Jose Felipe saying everyone started calling him Bin Laden so he decided to use this to his advantage.

The Bar do Bin Laden is not the only establishment named after the former al Qaeda chief in Brazil.  There are three other similar named eateries in different cities.
