Egypt denies Bin Laden's son entry to the country

Egyptian authorities on Saturday denied entry to a son of al-Qaeda's late chief, Osama bin Laden, due to security reasons, sources at Cairo airport said.

Omar bin Laden arrived at Cairo airport on a flight from Qatar and was deported to Turkey later on Saturday after his name was found on a no-entry list on an order from a security agency, the sources said.

The 35-year-old fourth son of the late Bin Laden is believed to have spent some years with al-Qaeda fighters in Afghanistan.

Bin Laden was killed in a US operation in Pakistan in May 2011.
