Hollywood action star Tom Cruise has been asked police to help in nabbing a man who made threats to the Church of Scientology in April.
According to a report by the Sunday Express, the star has been dragged in to the investigation after the person called the church in California, saying that he liked doing suicide bombings, ending his call after saying 'Allahu Akbar, Tom Cruise.'

"A man called the church in April and said he liked doing suicide bombings," the Los Angeles Police Department said. Police documents obtained by TMZ claim that the caller began saying, "Allahu Akbar, Tom Cruise". He soon hung up after he finished saying that.  Investigators said the man, who identified himself as Muslim, asked, "Are there any bombings I can do?" TMZ reported.
Authorities have also served AT&T with a warrant to try and trace the call.
Katie left to save daughter
Earlier, in 2003, Cruise had confessed that former wife, Katie Holmes, had left him to save their seven-year-old Suri from Scientology.
In a 48-page transcript, obtained by Radaronline.com, a of a grueling deposition held in September earlier this year with attorney Elizabeth McNamara, in which Cruise admitted he didn't see Suri for 110 days following his divorce.
Responding to the reports, an upset Cruise had said:
"I find that question offensive. I find those statements offensive. Like any other relationship, there are many different levels to it. There's no need to protect Suri from my religion."
When asked whether Scientology was one of the reasons Holmes left him, he had replied, "Did she say that? That was one of the assertions, yes."
Suri is no longer practicing Scientology, the action star had clarified, according to the Express.
