Bodies of bin Laden relatives were ‘incinerated’ in plane crash

The bodies of the relatives of Osama bin Laden were “incinerated” when the private jet they were flying in crash-landed at a car auction site, a coroner has said.

Andrew Bradley, coroner for North Hampshire, has opened and adjourned an inquest at Basingstoke into the deaths of the three members of the bin Laden family and their pilot from Jordan.

The Saudi-registered Phenom 300 jet was attempting to land at Blackbushe Airport, Hampshire, on Friday, when it crashed on to dozens of cars and burst into flames.
