Laden's 27-yr-old son weds 51-yr-old British granny London: 27-year-old Omar met Jane in Egypt in September while she was there for her treatment for multiple sclerosis. Jane said that the fairytale romance began when her Omar saw her riding a horse near the Great Pyramid. Both decided to get married after a holiday romance and now she is to apply for a visa so that Omar can visit Britain. The couple got married with all the Islamic ceremonies in Egypt and Saudi Arabia and are awaiting permission from the authorities in Riyadh to make their marriage official. Jane has already been married five times. She has three sons and five grandchildren and is a respected parish councilor in the village of Moulton. She has had various jobs, including restoring houses and aircraft, and is a keen rider and scuba diver. Omar on the other hand, works as a scrap metal dealer in Jeddah According to a report in The Times, Jane now uses the Islamic name Zaina Mohamad. Jane had kept her marriage secret from everyone apart from her immediate family and close friends. But she has now agreed to speak about her relationship with Bin Laden's fourth eldest son. "It would be nice if, like any other married woman, I could stand up and say this is my husband and this is his name, but I have to be realistic about things," she told The Times. "I hope people don't judge me too harshly. I married the son, not the father." She added. Her father in-law, Osama Bin Laden is linked to numerous terrorist plots including the London suicide bombings on July 7, 2005, the July 21 plot, and the recent attempted attacks in London and Glasgow. "I just married the man I met and fell in love with. For me he is just Omar," Jane said. "I hope that people will take a step back and think what it was like when they fell in love. He is the most beautiful person I have ever met. His heart is pure, he is pious quiet,a true gentleman, and he is my best friend," Jane said. Omar bin Laden left Saudi Arabia as a child when his father was expelled for his extremist beliefs, his wife said. Living in exile in Sudan and then Afghanistan, he saw at first hand the creation of al-Qaeda and its techniques. "I never had any problem with his past. Omar did not do anything wrong. He was a child when he was in Afghanistan." Jane said. She said her husband left Afghanistan before the attacks on the US on September 11, 2001. However, some reports claim that he split from his father only after the attack on New York and an argument about tactics. His father's reputation means that he has been ostracised by the wealthy and powerful bin Laden family and is under surveillance by the security services in Saudi Arabia. She was aware before her marriage that her husband already had another wife and a two-year-old child. "I haven't seen her but I have spoken to her for about an hour on the telephone. She is fine about it," Browne said. Jane said that the couple hoped to use their position to help to heal the wounds caused by her father-in-law. Jane said: "All we want is peace in this world and I will do all I can to promote it.

UP village boy suddenly acquires American accent 14 Jul 2007, 0007 hrs ISTspacer.gif,spacer.gifTNN spacer.gif photo.cms?msid=1784511Printphoto.cms?msid=1784513Savephoto.cms?msid=1784493EMailphoto.cms?msid=2010364Write to Editordoweshowbellyad=0;

photo.cms?msid=2202488 Rajesh, the wonder boy, speaks fluently in English and has suddenly acquired knowledge of physics and mathematics

LUCKNOW: A 14-year-old Dalit boy, born and brought up in a remote village of western Uttar Pradesh, has suddenly turned angrez . Rajesh, without any evident help, has started speaking fluently in English and does so with a proper American drawl. And that’s not all: He seems to have forgotten how to speak Hindi. Wonders do not cease with this: His knowledge of physics and mathematics has left engineering students baffled. Having already penned three books, Rajesh is now looking forward to some research work. All of this may sound like a Bollywood script on one of its favourite themes, reincarnation. However, Rajesh, a resident of a nondescript village 40 km from Saharanpur, refuses to call it so. In his words: "There is no concept of reincarnation. It is just that memory can’t be destroyed till there are sound waves in the world." And this is the area of science that interests Rajesh the most. "He has already written three documents, one on memory, the other on sociology and the third on liberalisation," said an excited Shishu Pal Singh Verma, principal of Willian Jefferson Clinton Science and Technology Centre, where Rajesh was enrolled last year. "I did not take him seriously for a few months but on Republic Day, while the students were reciting poetry before the entire college, Rajesh took the mike and addressed the gathering in fluent English. This left us almost shell-shocked," says Shishu Pal. Rajesh’s mother Omkali and 16-year-old brother Kaluwa are daily wage labourers who earn just enough to manage two square meals a day. His father Sompal is mentally-challenged. Asked how and when these changes came into Rajesh, Omkali said that it happened almost a year ago when Rajesh was helping Kaluwa erect a wall. "Every time the brothers brought the wall up to two feet, their father would smash it. Irritated, Rajesh threw a brick at him who was hit in the head and began to bleed.” This left Rajesh dumbfounded. "For the next three months, he did not utter a single word. When he did, it was not in Hindi," said Jamal, a resident of Saharanpur. var RN = new String (Math.random()); var RNS = RN.substring (2,11); var b2 = ' photoserv?slotid=1947'; if (doweshowbellyad==1) bellyad.innerHTML = b2;

Police in Iran are reported to have taken 14 squirrels into custody - because they are suspected of spying. 1559294.jpg The rodents were found near the Iranian border allegedly equipped with eavesdropping devices. The reports have come from the official Islamic Republic News Agency (IRNA). When asked about the confiscation of the spy squirrels, the national police chief said: "I have heard about it, but I do not have precise information." The IRNA said that the squirrels were kitted out by foreign intelligence services - but they were captured two weeks ago by police officers. A Foreign Office source told Sky News: "The story is nuts." But if true, this would not be the first time animals have been used to spy. During World War II the Allied Forces used pigeons to fly vital intelligence out of occupied France. More recently, US marines stationed in Kuwait have used chickens as a low-tech chemical detection system. And it is well documented that dolphins have been used to seek out underwater mines. It is even claimed that M15 once planned to recruit a team of specially-trained gerbils as a secret weapon to sniff out spies.

£10 million security for Potter secret LONDON: A £10-million security operation featuring an army of guards, satellite tracking systems and legal contracts has swung into action to prevent any leak of details of the seventh and final book about the tales of boy wizard Harry Potter. As millions around the world eagerly await the release of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows on July 21, only its author J.K. Rowling and some 20 others, including the books editors and illustrators, know Harrys fat e. When the finished manuscript was taken by hand from London to New York, the lawyer for the American publisher, Scholastic, sat on it during the flight. With each successive Potter book, security has grown. Nothing has come close, however, to the arrangements for the finale, The Sunday Telegraph observed. London-based Bloomsbury, which publishes the Potter books in Britain, has hired secure sites across the country to house the book prior to distribution early this week. It is understood that several dozen security teams will protect the sites round the clock. Experts say security staff will earn up to £30 an hour with a guard dog, up to £20 without. Print factory workers in Britain have been threatened with the sack if they leak any details, while German publishers banned mobile phones and even packed lunches in the printing plant. Employees reportedly had to work in near-darkness to prevent them reading the book. It is from Tuesday, however, when copies begin to be sent out to retailers, that the most crucial part of the security operation will come into effect. The trucks Bloomsbury will use are fitted with satellite tracking systems costing up to 1,000 pounds each, which will reveal whether any of the vehicles deviate from their intended route. The books are on sealed pallets fitted with alarms to prevent tampering. At one of the biggest booksellers, Barnes and Noble in America, the books are being kept in padlocked trucks at the insistence of Scholastic. Amazon, the online retailer, has cordoned off special sections of its warehouse to ensure restricted access. All retailers have had to sign a legal embargo preventing them from divulging any of the books content or selling copies before the release. A spokesman for Borders, the bookshop chain, said the ban means: We agree not to open any of the books before midnight. We cant even line the shelves before then. A spokesman for Bloomsbury said: We have a litigation specialist poised 24 hours a day, seven days a week to deal with any breaches. It is our intention to enforce the embargo vigorously and seek an immediate injunction if required. While experts put the cost of all this at £10 million, the lengths to which publishers have gone are not surprising. Four years ago, Donald Parfitt, a forklift driver from Suffolk, was ordered to do 180 hours community service after he admitted stealing pages from Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix from the printing plant where he worked. Last year, Aaron Lambert was jailed for stealing copies of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince and trying to sell them. In recent weeks, Ms. Rowling has reportedly received letters from people asking her to reveal the ending of the seventh book because their terminally-ill relative may not live until Saturday. PTI
