2. Achmed is not a new character.
But he is the funniest guy ever. I love his eyebrows.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeff_Dunham#Achmed_the_Dead_Terrorist
An early version of Achmed stated that it was not a turban , but underwear, because 'when someone says it's time to kill yourself, it scares the crap out of you!

Achmed was originally introduced in late 2001, just after the 9/11 attacks. At the time, he was introduced as Osama bin Laden; it was not known at the time if bin Laden had survived the assault at Tora Bora. When asked what sort of training occurred at a terrorist training camp, Achmed/Osama replied "explosives training, weapons training, arts and crafts ...". Indicating his turban, he added, "See my turban? I made this!"
