Osama Bin Laden's son has claimed political asylum in Spain - after being refused entry to live in the UK with his British wife.
Omar Osama bin Laden, 27, is being held in Madrid's Barajas Airport after arriving in the Spanish capital on a Moroccan-bound flight from Egypt.
Omar, toyboy husband of a grandmother-of-five previously known as Jane Felix-Browne, is reported to be in the transit hall of the airport's newly-built terminal four.
He is expected to remain there while Interpol confirms his identity and officials consider his asylum claim.
Spanish newspaper El Pais said authorities had decided to process his case 'speedily.'
Omar's surprise asylum claim comes seven months after he was told his British visa application was being turned down at the British Embassy in Cairo because of suggestions he could still be loyal to his terrorist dad.
He is thought to have flown into Madrid without his British wife, now known as Zaina Alsabah-bin Laden.
The couple were planning to move to her £550,000 home in the village of Moulton, near Northwich in Cheshire, when he was refused a UK visa.

Mrs bin Laden, a member of the parish council in Moulton until recently, is severely visually impaired and said she needs access to medical treatment but refuses to be apart from her husband.
It was thought they were going to mount a legal challenge to battle for a UK visa.
Self-declared pacifist Omar, one of Osama bin Laden's 19 sons, made his asylum claim after stepping off a plane from Cairo bound for Casablanca in Morocco during a scheduled stop in Madrid.
The nature of his asylum bid has not been made clear.
