<\/p>\nOsama bin Laden’s son Omar was refused entry to Egypt today, airport sources said, giving no reason why his name was on a list of people banned from the country.<\/p>\n
Omar, 34, Osama bin Laden’s fourth-eldest son, was travelling with his British wife Zaina al Sabah from Doha, and they asked to be sent to Turkey, the sources said.<\/p>\n
The couple, who lived in Egypt for several months in 2007 and 2008, were previously denied entry to the country in 2008.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Omar bin Laden broke with his father in 2001 after living in Afghanistan for much of 1996 to 2001.<\/p>\n
In an interview with Reuters in 2010, Omar said he was working with Saudi Arabia and Iran to end his separation from a group of brothers and sisters that dates back to the chaos in Afghanistan following the al Qaeda attacks of September 11, 2001.<\/p>\n
Omar said bin Laden’s children were trying to be “good citizens of the world” but suffered from the lack of a father and the stigma of being the al Qaeda leader’s children. None were part of al Qaeda, he said at the time.<\/p>\n

\nWe are working with the Iranian government and with the Saudi government at the moment to have my mother’s children and grandchildren join us,” he said.<\/p>\n
Osama bin Laden was killed at his Pakistani hideout by US commandos in 2011 in a major blow to the militant group which carried out the September 11 attacks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
