Bin Laden's son fails in asylum appeal

Spain has rejected a final appeal for asylum by a son of al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden and his British wife and put them on a plane bound for Egypt, the Interior Ministry and a lawyer for the man said today.

Omar Osama bin Laden and his British wife left Spain on a commercial flight Saturday afternoon, the day after his final appeal for asylum was rejected, lawyer Bianca Sharma said.
