Osama bin Laden's step-mother was house-hunting
in Kensington earlier this month according to the Financial Times.
Since her stepson was linked to the attacks in the
US however, nothing more has been heard from the potential buyer.
The house in Kensington Square had an asking price of £2.5million
which is considered relatively cheap for the location. Mrs bin Laden
had taken one of her daughters-in-law, who lives nearby.
Though the family has publicly disowned its infamous
son, since he became a fugitive from his native country in 1993,
public life has become difficult for Saudi Muslims in general and
for those called bin Laden in particular.
British security consultant Ambrose Carey, brother-in-law
of Kalid, one of Osama bin Laden's brothers, defended the family
last week. He said the bin Laden family was a pillar of the Saudi
establishment and business community and had no business connections
with their brother in any shape or form.
"The family is absolutely mortified by what has
happened in New York and totally reject Osama's activities and ideology.
I know that Osama has no business connections with them in any shape
or form," Mr Carey said.
