New York, Aug. 3 (ANI): Singer Bobby Brown might have taken divorce from Whitney Houston, but his fear of being killed by Al Queda think tank Osama bin Laden has yet not gotten over.

The singer, who separated from Houston last year, has been worried about Laden ever since writer Kola Boof and an alleged mistress of the terrorist, said Laden wanted Brown killed in order to make Houston one of his wives.

Brown beefed up his security two weeks ago in Australia, where he has been on tour.

"I figure if Bin Laden wants me, and everybody is looking for him, it probably won't happen. But if he wants to try and find me for something so stupid, he can do what he wants. I have to leave it in the hands of my higher power," the New York Daily News quoted him as saying.

"Come on, if anybody (else was) threatened by Al Qaeda, they'd take it seriously," he added.

A reviewer wrote in the Herald Sun that at one point, the singer took off his shirt "unveiling his sweaty, abdominally challenged torso (and mysteriously wet crotch)" and the audience screamed with laughter, but were dead silent when he tried to get them to do a "call and response".

Representatives for Brown were unavailable for comment.

Meanwhile, 'Vixen Diaries' author Karrine Steffans, who counted Brown among her many celebrity lovers, has revealed that the singer also thought that US President George W. Bush wanted him dead.

"He said, 'We should flee the country.' We were staying at the Ritz-Carlton in Marina del Rey for a couple of weeks. He and Whitney had separated. I helped him as much as I could," Stephans recalled. (ANI)
