Tom Cruise has landed in a legal soup after a potential suicide bomber used his name while making threats to the Church of Scientology.
The police said that the man, who identified himself as a muslim, called the Church back in April to say that he liked to do suicide bombings and asked, "Are there any bombings I can do?," TMZ.com reported.
According to police docs, the caller began singing, "Allah Akbar, Tom Cruise," the phrase some terrorists have used as they attack, and then hung up.
While the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) is on the hunt for the man, the 54-year-old actor has been pulled into the middle of the investigation.
