Osama’s son seeks to promote peace in UN role

London, November 19: His surname may spell terror for you, but Omar bin Laden, the son of world’s most wanted man, wants to be an envoy of peace at the United Nations.

Omar, the fourth eldest son of al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden, reveals himself as someone definitely not cut from the same cloth as his father.

“I do not believe that I would be a good politician ? I have a habit of speaking the truth, even when it does not serve me well. But I would like to be in a position to promote peace. I believe that the United Nations would be ideal for me,” Omar was quoted as saying by the New Statesman.

Omar revealed that even though he was asked by his father’s fighters to take up arms, he ended contact with Osama in April 2001.
