Bin Laden Son Says U.S. May Agree to Let in Family

July 19, 2010, 11:54 AM EDT

 (Updates with Omar bin Laden saying none of his brothers accused of
terrorism in third paragraph.)

July 19 (Bloomberg) -- A son of Osama bin Laden said about 20 members of his
family stranded in Iran are seeking sanctuary in a third country and that
the U.S. may agree to accept them.

Omar bin Laden, the al-Qaeda leader’s fourth son, said in an interview with
Al Arabiya television that Iran is refusing to allow his relatives to go to
Saudi Arabia. Shiite Muslim- dominated Iran is a regional rival of
Sunni-ruled Saudi Arabia. Al-Qaeda, a Sunni group, is hostile to Iran.

“The Americans offered to help them out of Iran and even hinted at the
possibility of receiving them in the U.S.,” he said in the interview, which
was aired late yesterday and posted on the Dubai-based channel’s website.
Omar bin Laden said none of his brothers has been accused of terrorism by
the U.S. or any other country.

The elder bin Laden’s relatives held under house arrest in Iran include five
of his children and one of his wives, Al Arabiya said. The family had been
living in Afghanistan and fled to Iran after the U.S. military began air
strikes on the country following the Sept. 11 attacks in 2001.

A daughter of bin Laden, Iman, 17, was allowed to leave Iran for Syria
earlier this year after taking refuge in the Saudi Embassy in Tehran. Her
brother, Bakr, 16, also left Iran for the Syrian capital of Damascus in
December.
