If talk show host David Letterman were to put out a “Top 10 List” of reasons to be paranoid, this would be at the top.
The FBI has said it will investigate a death threat made by a radical Muslim, the International Business Times reports.
The radical person called for Letterman’s tongue to be cut out and his neck broken for mocking former al Qaeda leader and former senior al-Qaeda member Ilyas Kashmiri, the publication reported.
“So [al Qaeda] picked a successor to Osama bin Laden, and his name was Ilyas Kashmiri,” Letterman said during his opening monologue on June 8. “Well, guess what: He was blown up by an American drone.”
The International Business Times reported that “Omar from Basra, Iraq” posted on the al Qaeda online forum Shumoukh al-Islam: “We pray to Allah to paralyze his tongue, and that the righteous believers will break his neck.”
The International Business Times reported that CBS and Letterman declined comment and that New York police notified CBS and local police wher Letterman lives.
