UK: Osama bin Laden Sought UK Asylum
From this morning's Times, a strange tale. At the end of 1995, while based in Sudan, Osama bin Laden asked followers in Britain whether he would be able to move there. This was at a time when he was planning the 9/11 US atrocities.
Current Tory leader Michael Howard, who was then Home Secretary, recalls how his aides told of him of the request for asylum, made by bin Laden. At this time, bin Laden had brothers and other relatives owning London properties. In his teenage years, bin Laden had toured Europe with his family, and was even a fan of UK soccer team, Arsenal.
Bin Laden was virtually unknown in the British media at the time of his asylum request, even though his operatives had bombed US army bases abroad and he had plotted assassination attempts against Bill Clinton and Pope John Paul II. He was only placed on the US government's "most wanted" list in June 1998. Michael Howard stated
"In truth, I knew very little about him, but we picked up information that bin Laden was very interested in coming to Britain. It was apparently a serious request. He already had people operating here, and who knows how history could have been rewritten if he had turned up here?"Howard's officials at the Home office investigated him, and he was issued with an immediate banning order. It is a shame that other radicals, such Mohammed al Masari, were allowed in by Howard's immigration officials.
