A chance meeting by the Pyramids in Egypt climaxed in a whirlwind romance and marriage between two unlikely souls – a British grandmother and Osama bin Laden’s son. Jane Felix-Browne, 51, kept her marriage to Omar Osama bin Laden, who is only 24 years younger than her, a secret until now fearing ostracism for being the new daughter-in-law of the most wanted man in the world.
A chance meeting by the Pyramids in Egypt climaxed in a whirlwind romance and marriage between two unlikely souls – a British grandmother and Osama bin Laden’s son. Jane Felix-Browne, 51, kept her marriage to Omar Osama bin Laden, who is only 24 years younger than her, a secret until now fearing ostracism for being the new daughter-in-law of the most wanted man in the world.
Felix-Browne, who also uses the name Zaina Mohamad, told The Sun on Wednesday that she met Omar while riding a horse near the Pyramid, in Giza, Egypt. Neither the age difference nor the fact that Omar already had a wife and a two-year-old child stopped Felix-Browne from proposing marriage to him. Omar also, seemed to have disregarded the fact that Felix-Browne was in Egypt at that time to undergo treatment for multiple sclerosis.
The couple married in April in an Islamic ceremony in Egypt, and then Saudi Arabia, within days of meeting each other. Felix Browne, who returned to Britain, is now awaiting permission from the authorities in Riyadh to make their marriage official. Notwithstanding her father-in-law’s status, the former parish councillor from Cheshire hopes her new husband will be able to come to the UK soon. “There is no reason why he should not come to live here,” she said.
The brunette has had five husbands; and has three sons and five grandchildren. Omar is one of the 11 children fathered by bin Laden with his first wife Najwa. He works as a scrap metal dealer in Saudi Arabia.
About her father-in-law, Felix-Browne says her husband and he parted ways in 2000, much before 9/11 when they were in Afghanistan. “He left his father because he did not feel it was right to fight or to be in an army. Omar doesn’t know if it was his father who was responsible for the 9/11 attacks. I don’t think we will ever know,” she added.
