Relatives of Bin Laden perish in Hampshire plane crash
Four people died when the Saudi Arabia-registered plane plowed into a car auction site and burst into flames in southern England on Friday. Britain's Daily Mail reported that bin Laden's stepmother and half-sister were believed to be among the dead. Local police said the pilot and three passengers died when the Phenom 300 jet attempted to land at Blackbushe Airport in Hampshire and that no one was injured on the ground. The Saudi ambassador "offered his condolences to the sons of the late Mohammed bin Laden and their relations for the grave incident of the crash of the plane carrying members of the family at Blackbushe airport," read a statement posted on the embassy's official Twitter account. It did not confirm the identities of those killed. The embassy also said it would work with British authorities to investigate the incident and repatriate the bodies for burial in Saudi Arabia.
