Bin Laden relatives reportedly killed in private jet crash

On the day of the crash the plane left Blackbushe for Milan’s Malpensa airport in northern Italy before returning later. All four people on board the aircraft, including the pilot, were killed.

The pilot and all three passengers were killed but no-one on the ground was injured, Hampshire Police said.

Osama bin Laden was shot dead by US forces in Pakistan in 2011, ending a ten-year manhunt for the world’s most wanted man, accused of being the mastermind of the September 11 attacks on the United States.

Without confirming the identities of the victims, the Saudi Ambassador to Britain, Prince Mohammed Bin Nawaf Al Saud, offered condolences on the embassy’s official Twitter account to the bin Laden family.

In a statement, the Saudi ambassador to the UK, Prince Mohammed bin Nawaf Al Saud, offered condolences to the Bin Laden family.

Meanwhile, the Hampshire police service spokesman said an investigation into the causes of the incident had been launched. Bin Laden’s father had over 50 children with his dozens of wives.

It is beleived that among those dead are bin Laden’s stepmother and sister.

Hampshire Police said the Bin Laden family members were all Saudi Arabian and were visiting the UK “on vacation”, but that formal post-mortem examinations are “ongoing”.

The circumstances surrounding the plane crash which killed three members of the Bin Laden family have been called into question by a pilot who regularly uses Blackbushe Airport the scene of the tragedy.

Emergency services raced to the scene shortly after 3pm when the aircraft crashed into an overflow vehicle park attached to the British auto Auction.

In the aftermath of the plane crash, a dark plume of black smoke could be seen twisting into the sky, while an orange-red ball of fire raged below.

Geoff Pierce, an aviation enthusiast from Fleet in Hampshire, was at Blackbushe airfield and saw the plane come down.

He said: “I could see one of the wings sticking up and it was in flames and four, five cars around it were all in flames”.
