Divorcing Bin Laden Jr

Remember the story about the Cheshire housewife who married Osama bin Laden's son? Now she's getting a divorce, according to the Sun.

Jane Felix-Browne says she and her husband, Omar bin Laden, fear they could be killed.

"People are opposed to my marriage because I am British. I wasn't prepared to see the man I love die. That is why we have decided to end our marriage."

The paper reminds us that Ms Felix-Browne, a parish councillor from Moulton, Cheshire, married Mr Bin Laden, a scrap metal dealer from Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, in April. It claims the Bin Laden family put pressure on the couple to end the marriage. "I don't want a divorce but there are serious reasons for this break-up that I can't talk about," Omar told the Sun.

He also commented on the appearance of his father in a recent video sporting a trimmed and dyed beard. Omar says Osama could be getting married. "Looks like dad is on the pull," says the Sun.
