Jealous first wife dumps Osama’s son

BRITAIN: Al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden’s fourth eldest son, Omar, has been dumped by his first wife for marrying a 51-year-old British grandmother.

Twenty-seven-year-old Omar Osama bin Laden, who works as a scrap metal dealer in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, has a two-year-old son with his first wife Rasha.

Furious over the wedding, Rasha has vowed never to return to Omar until he leaves Jane Felix-Browne, a mother of three sons and grandmother of five children, according to a report in the Sun.

Rasha, who is in her 20s, is enraged by the publicity over his marriage to the British grandmother. Ms Felix-Browne married Omar after a holiday romance in Egypt in September. Her whirlwind romance with Omar began when he saw her riding a horse near the Great Pyramid.

“Rasha feels humiliated. But Omar refuses to give up Jane so the marriage looks doomed,” a source was quoted as saying by the Sun.Omar has told friends he is headover-heels in love with Jane, who was married five times earlier, and will not give in to his first wife’s demands. Omar can legally have four wives in Saudi Arabia.

“Rasha feels left out. Jane’s always in the limelight - the papers in Saudi Arabia are full of stories about her marriage to Omar. Rasha’s made it clear she won’t return unless things change,” the report added.
