After being rejected asylum in Egypt, Osama bin Laden's son Omar and his British wife Zaina Alsabah Bin Laden arrived in Qatar on Sunday. The couple arrived in Egypt on Saturday after the Spanish authorities turned down their application for asylum. Spain rejected Omar's asylum application, as it did not meet any Spanish requirements. The British authorities had earlier denied a visa for Omar.
Omar, 29, married 52-year-old Zaina Alsabah in Saudi Arabia last year. Omar, who urged his father to give up terrorism, fears living in the Middle East because of his condemnation of Al-Qaeda.
