Bin Laden's son denied entry to Egypt

Osama bin Laden's son Omar bin Laden was refused entry to Egypt on Saturday, airport sources said, giving no reason why his name was on a list of people banned from the country, Reuters reported.

Omar, 34, Osama bin Laden's fourth-eldest son, was travelling with his British wife Zaina al Sabah from Doha, and they asked to be sent to Turkey, the sources said.

The couple, who lived in Egypt for several months in 2007 and 2008, were previously denied entry to the country in 2008.
