Osama's son denied entry

Egyptian authorities put one of Al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden's son on a plane to Qatar yesterday after denying him entry into the country, a security official at Cairo's airport said.

Omar Osama bin Laden, 27, and his British wife arrived at Cairo International Airport over the weekend after he unsuccessfully tried to seek political asylum in Spain, claiming he would not be safe if he returned to an Arab country. The couple had lived in Egypt for the past year.
