Osama’s son had warned that America could face a more violent enemy after father’s death
May 3rd, 2011 - 2:07 pm ICT by ANIWashington, May 3 (ANI): Omar bin Laden, the fourth son of Al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden, had warned that America could face a broader and more violent enemy after his father’s death on Sunday in a firefight with US troops in Abbotabad, Pakistan.
Discussing his book “Growing Up Bin Laden,” Omar revealed last year what it was like to grow up as the son of world’s most wanted man. In that interview, he warned the world about what might happen after his father’s elimination.
Taking a close look at the next generation of mujahideen and Al-Qaeda training camps, Omar said the worst may lie ahead.
“From what I knew of my father and the people around him, I believe he is the most kind among them, because some are much, much worse,” ABC News quoted Omar, as saying in that interview.
“Their mentality wants to make more violence, to create more problems,” he added.
Omar bin Laden turned his back on his father’s philosophy and openly criticized him.
“Attacking peaceful people is not being fair, it is unacceptable. If you have a problem with armies or governments, you should fight those people. This is what I find unacceptable in my father’s way,” said Omar.
When asked whether there is anything his father likes about the United States, Omar says “their weapons,” and nothing else.
Osama’s son however, praised the U.S. saying that country does not care what is your race, what is your skin, where you come from and this is very good.
Omar was also confident that his father would not be caught and that no Afghan would turn him in.
“It’s been 30 years now since he started fighting there. Who could catch him? No one. This is the country that whoever gets in is stuck, be it the armies or the mujahideen,” he said. (ANI)
