Bruce Lee statue

Bosnian youths unveil the statue of late martial arts legend Bruce Lee in the southern Bosnian city of Mostar, 26 November 2005, as a symbolic protest against ethnic division. The statue honouring late martial arts legend Bruce Lee was vandalised hours after it was unveiled in this southern Bosnian city, police and witnesses said.

Lee was chosen as a hero that all ethnic groups could relate to in a city that remains bitterly divided after fierce fighting between Croats and Muslims during the country’s 1992-95 war.- Yahoo News
