bin Laden’s son has tabloid wedding

omar bin ladenOmar bin Laden, son of the infamous terrorist leader, Osama bin Laden, was recently wed to Jane Felix-Browne, a 51-year old grandmother from England that has been married five times before. Omar is only 27, so there has been a flurry of media attention over the union.

Of course, Omar is outraged. Jane’s new name is Zaina Bint Mohamad Al-Sabah. Omar bin Laden has been quoted as saying that polygamy is not unusual in his culture and that his first wife agreed to the second marriage. Zaina said that her husband left his father’s social circle in Afghanistan when he was 19 because he didn’t want to fight and die young. It sounds like he made the right choice.

Of all the ”celebrity weddings” I’ve read about, this one is the most unique. I realize that polygamy is part of Arabic culture, but I don’t understand why bin Laden is so surprised at the media attention. His father is a wanted terrorist that’s killed thousands of people, of course his life is going to be under a microscope.

If you’re looking to travel somewhere exotic like the middle east for your nuptials, then perhaps some destination favors are in order. Or, you could just go for some wine wedding favors at your reception to get the party started without traveling halfway around the world.
