LONDON (AP) - A British divorcee claims that she has married one of the sons of al-Qaida chief Osama bin Laden.
Jane Felix-Browne, a 51-year-old from Moulton, Cheshire, in northwest England, told British television station ITV that she married 27-year-old Omar bin Laden in Egypt in April.
Felix-Browne, who also uses the name Zaina Mohamad, is a
local government councilor with three children and five grandchildren. It would be her sixth marriage.
She told The Times and The Sun newspapers, which initially reported the story, that she met Omar bin Laden, who she identified as the al-Qaida leader's fourth son, while riding a horse near the Great Pyramid, in Giza, Egypt. She had been in the country to undergo medical treatment for multiple sclerosis, she said.
There was no independent confirmation that he was Osama bin Laden's son or of her claim that she married him.
The Sun printed a copy of what it identified as their wedding certificate and pictures purportedly showing the couple in Egypt.
The couple held Islamic marriage ceremonies in both Egypt and Saudi Arabia, Felix-Browne said.
In a new audiotape on Tuesday, al-Qaida second-in-command Ayman al-Zawahri threatened Britain with more attacks, accusing London of defying the Islamic world by honoring novelist Salman Rushdie.
Last month, attackers failed in two car separate car bombing attacks in London and Glasgow. In July 2005, four suicide bombers killed over 50 in coordinated bombings on London's transit system.
Felix-Browne said she «married the son, not the father.
«I just married the man I fell in love with _ to me he is just Omar,» she told The Times. «I hope people will take a step back and think what it is like when they fell in love.
She told GMTV that she would one day like to meet her father-in-law to find out if he really is the mastermind behind the terrorist atrocities he is accused of.
«You know, the newspapers say he did it and certain newspapers say they don't know, so I would ask, that is one question I would ask. 'Did you do it?' Because I don't know,» she said on ITV's GMTV program, speaking in a telephone interview from her British home.
She said her husband, a scrap dealer and one of 18 brothers, was raised in Sudan and Afghanistan. She added that father and son last met in Afghanistan in 2000, the year of the Sept. 11 attacks on the United States and a subsequent U.S. bombing campaign on Afghanistan that toppled the Taliban rulers who had harbored Osama bin Laden.
«He left his father because he did not feel it was right to fight or to be in an army. Omar was training to be a soldier and he was only 19.
Osama bin Laden had moved from Saudi Arabia to Sudan during the 1990-91 Gulf War, after failing to dissuade the Saudi government from turning to the U.S. for military help, and was stripped of his citizenship after continuing to criticize the Saudi-U.S. alliance. He moved to Afghanistan after being forced to leave Sudan in 1996.
Jean-Charles Brisard, co-author of 'Bin Laden: The Forbidden Truth,» said the al-Qaida leader does have a son called Omar.
Felix-Browne said she has become Omar bin Laden's second wife, and is hoping to arrange a visa for her new husband to visit Britain, but acknowledged it would be difficult.
«Because my husband's name is bin Laden he finds it very difficult to travel anywhere,» she told The Sun.
The couple last met in April when Felix-Browne spent three weeks at her new husband's home in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.
News of the nuptials has caused a ripple of excitement in, and drew journalists to, Moulton _ a quaint English country village more accustomed to community fairs.
«It gave me goose bumps when I heard the news,» said nursery supervisor Gill Targett. «It's all very scary considering what Osama bin Laden has done to so many innocent people. He's still a relation and blood is thicker than water.
Associated Press Writer Rob Harris in Moulton, England, contributed to this report.

Re: 51 years old British divorcee marries Osama bin Laden son
This story doesn't pass the smell test. I mean common, why would 27-year-old rich Bin Laden family member want to marry 51-year-old divorcee with multiple sclerosis? This doesn't make sense.

Why would he marry a granny, especially a non-Muslim who probably does shirk?
