All right. Who's the joker who paid for this Al Qaeda mural right in the middle of Boston's Rose F. Kennedy Greenway?

The Institute of Contemporary Art says it commissioned Brazilian brothers Otavio and Gustavo Pandolfo to paint this suspicious-looking character on the side of an old ventilation building. The museum claims the former bankers, known together as Os Gêmeos, are a "major force" in international street art who draw "yellow-skinned youth in red hoodies breaking into train yards and painting in subway tunnels."
