Saudi Arabia's ambassador to the United Kingdom said family members of former al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden were killed in a private jet crash in southern England.
In a tweet late on Friday, Prince Mohammed bin Nawaf bin Abdel-Aziz, the ambassador, offered his condolences to the bin Laden family, without identifying the dead.
The bin Laden family owns a major construction company in Saudi Arabia. They disowned the al-Qaida leader before the Sept 11, 2001, terror attacks in the US.
