Video: Omar bin Laden seeks asylum in the UK

I posted about this guy yesterday. He’s 26 or 27, married to a woman twice his age who is known for a) marrying often and b) using lots of aliases. But what wasn’t in yesterday’s post is covered in this video — namely, where Omar bin Laden was right up to 9-11. If the UK lets this “peace activist” in, they’re even less serious about the state of the world than I thought. He says doesn’t disagree with his father’s goals, just perhaps the means to reach them. And even that is debatable.

From the AP story:

Omar lived with the al-Qaida leader in Sudan, then moved with him to Afghanistan in 1996.

There, Omar says he trained at an al-Qaida camp but in 2000 he decided there must be another way and he left his father, returning to his homeland of Saudi Arabia.

“I don’t want to be in that situation to just fight. I like to find another way and this other way may be like we do now, talking,” he said in English.
