Canadian documentary shows Osama's family life

Osama bin Laden likes poetry and volleyball, had squabbles with his children, and bans any American foods such as ice and soft drinks, according to a Canadian TV documentary on a family that had close ties to the al-Qaida leader until 2001.

The programme showed a softer side of the world’s number one fugitive, but it also reflected his fundamentalist Islamic attitudes towards women and his terrorist war against the US.
