Bin Laden Jr. Desperate to stay in the UK

Vow to do whatever it takes - will go to the EU Court of Human Rights if the UK turns them down.

This morning Zaina Al Sabah Bin Laden, who used to be known as Jane Felixe-Browne, told GMTV that Omar had passed all the necessary immigration tests. However, the couple were "99%" sure his application would be rejected because of his father.

Speaking from Paris, and wearing matching tan leather jackets, she said: "We applied before Christmas and we don't know if we have been refused. "It has taken this long and there's no definite answer and no real refusal. We think 99% that it is going to be a refusal though there has been no official letter."

Saying they were desperate to come home, Mrs Bin Laden, a former parish councillor, said: "We already have an MEP working with us and an immigration lawyer."

If we get a clear refusal we are going to go to appeal and if that's refused we will go to the (European) Court of Human Rights because there's no reason he shouldn't be allowed into the country." She added: "He has never done anything wrong. We will go to the top and eventually get into Britain."

I don't think it will go that far, my bet is that the UK will accept his application.
