Hmmm....Members of Osama bin Laden's family were killed in a small plane crash in southern England in which three passengers and the pilot died, the Saudi Embassy in London said.
The
Saudi ambassador to Britain, Prince Mohammed bin Nawaf Al Saud, offered
his condolences via Twitter to the family of the late Mohammed bin Laden
over the crash Friday but did not name the victims.
The
late al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden -- killed in a U.S. raid on a
compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan, in May 2011 -- was one of dozens of
children of Mohammed bin Laden. The bin Laden family is large and is
spread around the world.
The plane crashed at Blackbushe Airport in Hampshire, to the west of London.
The
UK's Air Accidents Investigation Branch (AAIB) said Friday it had sent a
team to investigate the incident but declined to give further details.
The team remained at the site on Saturday.
Hampshire
Police confirmed that there were four people on board the plane,
including the pilot, and that there were no survivors. No one on the
ground was injured, police said.
The
official Saudi Press Agency did not identify those on the plane but said
it was a Saudi-registered Embraer 505 Phenom 300 aircraft.
Since the accident happened on British soil, the investigation will be in the hands of the AAIB
