Bin Laden told his children to live peacefully in West

Slain al-Qaida chief Osama bin Laden urged his children to live peacefully in the West and get a university education, his brother-in- law said in an interview published yesterday.

Zakaria al-Sadah, the brother of bin Laden’s Yemeni fifth wife Amal, told Britain’s Sunday Times newspaper that the Saudi-born extremist believed his children “should not follow him down the road to jihad”.

“He told his own children and grandchildren, ‘Go to Europe and America and get a good education,’” al-Sadah told the Sunday Times.
