Bin Laden 'rape victim' removes son from school

A US writer who claims she was raped by Osama bin Laden has pulled her son out of school after rumours started that he was the al-Qaida leader’s son.

Sudanese-born Kola Boof, 33, said she was held prisoner and forced to have sex with the terror chief in 1996 when she lived in Morocco working as a model.

She later fled to Spain where she said bin Laden threatened to have her killed after reading her first book of poems, Every Little Bit Hurts, which is critical of organised religion, especially Islam.

Boof now lives in Los Angeles, where she has become one of the country’s best-selling African-American writers.

But when recent media reports about her past sparked rumours about her son’s paternity she decided to remove him from school.

“I am fighting to protect the lives of myself and my children,” she said, explaining that a photographer had been seen outside the school attempting to take her son’s picture.

“Osama bin Laden is not my son’s father, and I shall rip out the throat, in one bite, of anyone who tries to photograph my babies.”

Boof has US federal protection after the Sudanese-based National Islamic Front issued a fatwa against her because of her writings condemning female castration and stonings in the country.

She was recently dropped by her publisher, Russom Damba, after his printing press in Morocco was firebombed.

In the past she has been accused of stretching the truth about her troubled life to boost her book sales, allegations she dismisses as rubbish.
