Osama bin Laden's stepmother, half-sister and brother-in-law are
thought to be among four people killed after a private jet owned by the family
exploded into a fireball after overshooting a runway while trying to land
outside London.
Rajaa Hashim, Osama's stepmother, her
daughter Sana bin Laden, and Sana's husband Zuhair Hashim, have been named as
the victims, according to NBC News.
Without confirming the identities of the victims, the Saudi Ambassador to Britain, Prince Mohammed bin Nawaf Al Saud, offered condolences on the embassy’s official Twitter account to the bin Laden family, a prominent Saudi clan with vast business interests.
“His royal Highness Prince Mohammed bin Nawaf bin Abdul Aziz, the ambassador of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques to the United Kingdom, offered his condolences to the sons of the late Mohammed bin Laden and their relations for the grave incident of the crash of the plane carrying members of the family at Balckbushe airport,” he said in the tweet.
Saudi media reported that the family members included Osama bin Laden’s half sister and stepmother.
