A Brazilian youth pedals past a billboard advertisement for a gas station using a likeness of Saudi-born militant Osama bin Laden, near Alexania, 30 miles (50 km) outside of Brasilia, on December 24, 2001. The ad reads: "Don't use explosive mixtures in your gasoline tank. The solution is Petrobras products." Several businesses across Brazil have used images of Bin Laden to promote their products since the September 11 attacks in the USA. —REUTERS
