Fury over sick terrorist fancy dress costume complete with a SUICIDE BOMB
The company selling it has said the costume is ideal for people who like to take a risk but outraged people have slammed the costume
A TERRORIST fancy dress costume which comes with a bomb, gun and beard has been slammed as in poor taste and hurtful "across the board".
Edinburgh based Morph Costumes advise customers who choose to wear the £28.49 suicide bomber get-up to do so at their peril.
Military Cross winning retiree, Captain Doug Beattie said: "It's in bad taste for the families of loved ones lost in Afghanistan and in acts of terrorism like the recent events in France.
"It's also in bad taste by portraying a Muslim in that way. I would say to people don't buy the thing because it's sick and particularly stupid. It creates hurt across the board."
The website says there is nothing funny about the Taliban, but they salute anyone with the guts to look like a member.
Morph describes the costume as ideal for brave people who like to take a risk.
Outraged veteran support group, The UK National Defence Association has called for a boycott of Morph Costumes.
UKNDA Chief executive officer Andy Smith said: "If it's a joke, it's a sick joke and one which all decent people will rightly condemn.
"We call on fancy-dress shops to refuse to sell or hire out these Taliban costumes, and we call on the public to boycott any retailers who continue selling them.
