    British Divorcee Marries bin Laden Son

    LONDON (July 11) -- Omar bin Laden, the al-Qaida leader's fourth son, has married a British woman he met in Egypt last fall, British media and colleagues said Wednesday.


    Jane Felix-Browne, 51, of northwest England, was in Egypt for medical treatment of multiple sclerosis, the Times and Sun newspapers reported. She told the newspapers she met the younger bin Laden while riding a horse near Egypt's Great Pyramid. She has three children by a previous marriage.

    Felix-Browne is hoping to arrange a visa for her 27-year-old husband to visit Britain, but acknowledged it would be difficult.

    "Because my husband's name is bin Laden he finds it very difficult to travel anywhere," she told The Sun.

    "I just married the man I fell in love with -- to me he is just Omar," she told The Times. "I hope people will take a step back and think what it is like when they fell in love."

    "He last saw his father in 2000 when they were both in Afghanistan," she said. "He left his father because he did not feel it was right to fight or to be in an army. Omar was training to be a soldier and he was only 19."

    Felix-Browne said she has become Omar bin Laden's second wife, and is hoping to arrange a visa for her new husband to visit Britain, but acknowledged it would be difficult.

    "Because my husband's name is bin Laden he finds it very difficult to travel anywhere," she told The Sun.

    She divides her time between her homes in northern England and Jedda, Saudi Arabia.

    Lucky she's old cause if they have kids or something, they are gonna be hated on for life. She must be pretty desperate to marry bin-laden's son though cause even though he ain't a terrorist, people still probably hates him cause he's a bin laden.

    ^ lol hope people realize that people still judge others purely by their names, don't give crappy/ not socially accepted names to your kids unless you wanted them to be hated on.

    Hmmm.. Just because the father is bad doesn't mean the son is. I feel it's not right to put the father's sin on the son's shoulder. Poor Omar. Though I can't imagine why she'd wanna be his second wife.

    ^ Nothing wrong with her liking him, but its super suspicious because of the last name, the passport and the age difference.
