| British woman has married to Osama’s son | | |
LONDON, JULY 11
A 51-year-old British grandmother has married a 27-year-old son of Al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden after a holiday romance and is to apply for a visa so that he can visit Britain.
Jane Felix-Browne, a parish councilor from Cheshire who has been married five times previously, met Omar bin Laden in Egypt in September while being treated for multiple sclerosis.
According to a report in The Times, Browne, who now uses the Islamic name Zaina Mohamad, said that their fairytale romance began when her future husband saw her riding a horse near the Great Pyramid.
They were married in Islamic ceremonies in Egypt and Saudi Arabia and are awaiting permission from the authorities in Riyadh to make their marriage official.
She kept her marriage secret from everyone apart from her immediate family and close friends. But she has now agreed to speak about her relationship with bin Laden's fourth eldest son.
"It would be nice if, like any other married woman, I could stand up and say this is my husband and this is his name, but I have to be realistic about things," she told the newspaper.
"I hope people don't judge me too harshly. I married the son, not the father."
She said she is aware that some people would be hostile to her marriage. Among the numerous terrorist plots linked to her new father-in-law are the London suicide bombings on July 7, 2005, the July 21 plot, and the recent attempted attacks in London and Glasgow.
"I just married the man I met and fell in love with - to me he is just Omar," Browne said.
