Basically, the FBI wanted an "updated" picture of bin Laden and this Italian guy, Gaspar Llamazares, happens to look similar to how they believe bin Laden now looks. 
As I'm sure you can tell, that's good ol' Osama on the left. The right is Llamazares. In the middle, we have the FBI's prediction of the current bin Laden.
Llamazares, understandably, is unhappy about this. He said he's worried that travel to the U.S. will be difficult. Apparently, airports have the technology to compare your passport photo to pictures on record and he fears that he could be identified as bin Laden (which is legit, seeing as "bin Laden" now has half of Llamazaers' face).

He claims that, with the exception of their shared age (52), they have nothing in common.
This is just another interesting example of the things that the U.S. government in an effort to catch terrorists. I mean, who cares about some Italian lawmaker having strangers think he's a deadly terrorist? Dude, suck it up. This is TOTALLY going to help us catch bin Laden. Provided he shaves his beard and tries to casually strut through the airport any time soon.
