Terrorist Fireworks

Some Americans this Fourth of July plan to get a bang out of blowing Osama bin Laden's head off.

The bin Laden Noggin is a cone-shaped pyrotechnic device with a cartoon of bin Laden's face. It has been a hot seller at some fireworks stores around the country.

When lit, the bin Laden cone erupts in blood-red flames and screeches for 60 seconds. Two shots blow his head off.

It is part of an Exploding Terrorists Heads four-pack that also includes Saddam Hussein, Yasser Arafat and Moammar Gadhafi.

Another hot seller in some places is Game Over, a package of three artillery shots decorated like bin Laden, Saddam and Gadhafi in striped jail uniforms.

Both sets of fireworks are made in China.
