EGYPT: AUTHORITIES DENY BIN LADEN’S SON ENTRY IN EGYPT November 10, 2008
(SomaliNet) One of the sons of al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden, Omar bin Laden, is no longer welcome in Egypt.
Sources say the authorities there refused him and his British wife, Zaina al Sabah, permission to enter the country when the two returned from a trip to Spain.
The couple have now travelled to Qatar where, as a citizen of Saudi Arabia, Mr bin Laden has the right of entry.
Omar bin Laden went to Spain to request asylum, saying that his pacifist convictions placed his life in the Middle East in danger. However Spain, just as Great Britain had done earlier this year, refused his request.-RNW
