PITT AND JOLIE NOT TARGETED BY TERRORISTS

LATEST: BRAD PITT and ANGELINA JOLIE were not threatened by Al-Qaeda terrorists but received threats from members of a little-known Islamic fundamentalist group trying to get publicity.

A story last Thursday (02NOV06) published in India's Financial Express claimed the terrorist group had threatened the celebrity couple, who were filming in Pune, India.

Jolie is in the city shooting A MIGHTY HEART, in which she portrays MARIANE PEARL, widow of Wall Street Journal reporter DANIEL PEARL, who was killed in 2002 by Al-Qaeda terrorists.

Sources close to the couple tell American publication Us Weekly that a little-known Islamic fundamentalist website put out a threat as a ploy to gain attention.

The source says, "The FBI was told it was not credible, which they told Brad and Angelina."

The couple were in India along with their children, MADDOX, five, ZAHARA, 22 months, and SHILOH, five months.

Pitt initially added private security to his team until he was assured by authorities that his family was safe.

The source adds, "It was a big deal until they found out it was bogus."
