LONDON -- A British divorcee said Wednesday she has married Omar bin Laden, the al-Qaida leader's fourth son, after they met in Egypt last fall.

Jane Felix-Browne, a 51-year-old grandmother from Moulton, Cheshire, in northwestern England, told British media she met bin Laden, 27, while riding a horse near Egypt's Great Pyramid and they married in April.

The Times and Sun newspapers, which initially reported the story, said she was in Egypt for medical treatment for multiple sclerosis at the time.


The couple has held Islamic marriage ceremonies in both Egypt and Saudi Arabia, Felix-Browne said. She said she is his second wife -- Islam allows men to have up to four wives.

He is the son of a man who planned the murders of thouands of people, and most likely thinks the same way as his Father as he Bin Laden would probably have brainwashed him from childhood.

I wander how her family feel about it, if it was my grandmother i would be pretty freaked out.
