Followers much worse says Bin Laden's son  

Posted on ยป Friday, February 12, 2010
WASHINGTON: Osama bin Laden's son has warned that if his father were killed the 
Al Qaeda leaders who succeed him are likely to be far worse, ABC News reported 
yesterday.

"From what I knew of my father and the people around him I believe he is the 
most kind among them, because some are much, much worse," Omar said in an 
interview.

"Their mentality wants to make more violence, to create more problems," he 
said. But Omar, who wrote a book Growing Up Bin Laden about his experiences, 
said he and his brothers broke with their father when he encouraged them to 
become suicide bombers.

"We were shocked. Why would our father say something like this to us? After he 
went away we just talked about it and said this was never going to happen, this 
was not our way."

Bin Laden, who has eluded a US manhunt since masterminding the September 11 
attacks on the US, recently broke his silence in an audio message praising Umar 
Farouk Abdulmutallab, the Nigerian charged with trying to blow up a US-bound 
airliner on Christmas Day.

"Attacking peaceful people is not being fair, it is unacceptable. If you have a 
problem with armies or governments you should fight those people. This is what 
I find unacceptable in my father's way. My father should find some letter to 
send to all of these people, at least to tell them they shouldn't attack the 
civilians," he said. 

Asked whether there was anything his father liked about the US, Omar said 
"their weapons," and nothing else.

Thirteen photographs of the collapse of World Trade Centre, as seen from a 
police helicopter, were released for the first time by National Institute of 
Standards and Technology
