Osama's son tells father to stop killing civilians
Omar Bin Laden, a son of Osama Bin Laden, has asked his father to stop killing civilians. In an interview in Cairo released by CNN, 26-year old Omar said he is talking publicly because he wants an end to the violence his father has inspired. I try and say to my father, Try to find another way to help or find your goal. These bombs, these weapons, theyre not good to use for anybody.
"Ayman, how many kids I got?"
"I dunno, Binny. 20, 30 maybe. I've lost count."
"Me, too. I got lots, so I don't need him. Have somebody kill him." |
He said he hasnt spoken to his father since 2000, when he walked away from an Al Qaeda training camp in Afghanistan with his fathers blessings. He said he has no idea where his father is, but is confident he will never be caught because locals support him. Asked if his father might be living along the Afghan-Pakistan border, he said, Maybe, maybe not. He said he and his British wife are pursuing a movement for peace. He said he doesnt consider his father to be a terrorist. When his father was fighting the Soviets, Washington considered him a hero, he said. I dont think my father is a terrorist because history tells you hes not.
