Bin Laden's mother 'not angry with her son'

Osama bin Laden’s Syrian-born mother said she is not angry with her suspected terrorist son, despite disagreeing with his ambitions and views, according to comments published today.

The Saudi paper Al-Medina said bin Laden’s mother, Alia, whom the article did not identify by name, ‘‘doesn’t agree with the ambitions of her son or his views or what he has been accused of doing, but denies what has been published and broadcast recently in some Arabic media that she is angry with him’’.
