Osama to have a British grandchild

London, June 12: A 24-year-old British woman is all set to give birth to al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden’s grandchild, a media report said.

According to the Sun, Louise Pollard is acting as a surrogate mother for Osama’s 29-year-old son Omar bin Laden and she is undergoing fertility treatment to conceive using Omar’s sperm and eggs from his British wife Jane Felix Browne.

The Qatar-based Laden couple, who are desperate to have a child but cannot on their own, contacted Louise through a surrogacy website. And now they have agreed for her to carry their baby. If the bid is successful, it will mean Osama having a British grandchild.

Omar, a scrap metal dealer, has a 6-year-old son from a previous marriage. But after tying the knot in 2007 with the 54-year-old granny, he’s keen to have another.

The fourth eldest child of the world’s most wanted terrorist, and his wife have been based in Qatar for two years after Britain rejected several of his visa applications to live in this country.

Omar, whose mum is Osama’s first wife Najwa, met Jane on a riding trip to Egypt in March 2007. He became the granny’s sixth husband when they wed a month later. Multiple sclerosis-sufferer Jane has three adult children from previous relationships. She converted to Islam before meeting Omar and now uses the name Zaina Mohamad Al-Sabah bin Laden.
