Telegraph UK - Osama Bin Laden's son says his father is still alive

Omar Bin Laden, the son of fugitive terrorist Osama Bin Laden, has said that he believes his father is still alive, although he does not know where he is.

"My dad is on the Earth but I don't know where. He's still alive. If that sort of person dies, you could never make it a secret. The world changes if he dies," he said in an interview.

Mr Bin Laden, 29, said he still loved his father, but he does not want to be like him.

"It's a weak son who just wants to be like his daddy," he told the Sun.

"I still love him - of course I do - he's my father. That's a normal human situation. I miss him as a father but we are different. I want peace."

Mr Bin Laden also spoke about his love of American culture, saying that he enjoys Jim Carrey films, American football, rock music and even Laurel And Hardy.

He also said he wanted to visit America.

"My father said the only good thing to come out of America were weapons - like Stinger missiles.

"But I want to go to America and I would love to meet Drew Barrymore. I am single now and she is the most beautiful woman in Hollywood."

Responding to claims from his former wife that he had heard his father's voice in his head, he admitted he was suffering from depression because he missed his family.

"The dream I have is that he is driving a truck and I stand in his way so he has to change direction. I hope to change his way for good, but it's only a dream.

"I admit I'm suffering from depression and taking anti-depressants because of the worry about my family, including two brothers being held in Iran for nine years.

"They are innocent. They are not terrorists but they are very down that they cannot leave Iran. I am very stressed and worried for them but I'm not schizophrenic."
