Manchester United Defender Chris Smalling Under Fire For Posing In A 'Suicide Bomber' Outfit [Photos]

                     The 24-year-old sparked outrage after being photographed dressed in an Arabic kaffiyeh headdress and military-style vest with a fake circuit board and cables attached.
The Manchester United and England footballer Chris Smalling has apologised for his ‘ill thought out and insensitive’ decision to dress as a suicide bomber at a fancy dress party.
In response to the anger over his costume, Smalling issued an apology through his management company, Wasserman Media Group.
The statement read: ‘Chris and his girlfriend hosted a fancy dress party to celebrate Christmas and their belated birthdays with close friends in the assumed privacy of his own home.’
It added: ‘Although he fully accepts in hindsight it was an ill-thought out and insensitive decision, absolutely no harm was intended whatsoever and he apologises for any offence caused'.
