Bin Laden told children 'live in peace in the West' - Yahoo! News
Slain Al-Qaeda chief Osama bin Laden urged his children to go live peacefully in the West and get a university education, his brother-in-law said in an interview published Sunday.
Zakaria al-Sadah, the brother of bin Laden's Yemeni fifth wife Amal, told Britain's Sunday Times newspaper that the Saudi-born extremist believed his children "should not follow him down the road to jihad."
"He told his own children and grandchildren, 'Go to Europe and America and get a good education,'" al-Sadah told the Sunday Times.
Al-Sadah said bin Laden told them: "You have to study, live in peace and don't do what I am doing or what I have done."
When I first read this, I was thinking what a load of bs.
Then, I recall no recalling anything about his kids or any other relatives, becoming jihadist.
Is there some chance he regretted his choices that got him to where he was?
