Bin Laden’s son requests asylum in Spain

A SON of Osama bin Laden who grabbed headlines by marrying a British woman last year has flown to Spain and requested asylum, the Spanish government said yesterday.

Omar Osama bin Laden, 27, is a metals trader who had been living in Cairo, Egypt, with his wife Jane Felix-Browne, 52.

His wife said he was denied a British residency request this year after officials there said he had demonstrated continuing loyalty to his father.
