Osama bin Laden's sister-in-law wants the terror chief brought to justice, she said.
Carmen bin Laden, who is locked in a divorce battle with Osama's brother Yeslam, said she did not know where the al Qaida leader was hiding but is convinced he will never be caught.
"I, too, want to see Osama bin Laden stand trial for his crimes," she told New York Post columnist Cindy Adams. "I don't know where Osama is, but I wish they would get him. However, I think never will they get him alive. To live a prisoner in the hands of non-Muslims would be his worst tragedy imaginable. He would kill himself."
Carmen, who lives in Switzerland, said he should be caught and "face what he did to America."
As the fourth anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks approaches, she said she had sensed something terrible was about to two happen two days before the atrocity, when Afghanistan's resistance leader Ahmad Shah Massoud was killed.
"From September 9 on, I felt edgy," she said. "In my mind I thought something could happen. And then, after... right away I knew. I quickly took my younger daughters out of school. I told them, 'We have to go home. Prepare yourselves. You must be ready to hear your name on the news.'
"Osama bin Laden continues to operate. I am desperately pessimistic and apprehensive about the future." Swiss-born Carmen met Yeslam bin Laden in Geneva in 1973. She has written a book chronicling life with the family and within a Saudi community.
