The Son of Osama Bin Laden, Omar has been deported from his Normandy hamlet after being suspected of glorifying terrorism on social media.
This was announced by the country’s Minister of Interior, Bruno Retailleau on Tuesda.
The French interior minister accused Omar bin Laden of posting comments on his social media accounts in 2023, which made an apology for terrorism in an early Tuesday morning post on X.
The tweet, which described the matter as “a national security decision,” did not specify when or where Omar bin Laden was deported.
“The administrative ban ensures that Mr. bin Laden cannot return to France for any reason whatsoever,” Retailleau stated.
However, French newspaper Le Parisien reported that Omar bin Laden is now living in Qatar.
The publication added that bin Laden had launched an appeal against his deportation, which was denied by French justice on Friday.
Mr. Omar had been living in Normandy with his wife — a woman identified as a UK national — since 2016.
According to the local press, the pair regularly travelled between the UK and France.
Omar is the son of Osama bin Laden, the Saudi-born founder of the al-Qaeda terrorist group and the mastermind behind the 9/11 terrorist attacks, which killed almost 3,000 people in the biggest terror attacks un US soil in 2001.
Reports suggest the Saudi-born extremist had 24 children, although there is speculation about the exact figure.
During the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown, Omar bin Laden turned to painting, selling his artwork for €800 to €2000.
Omar Bin Laden is the grandson of Mohammed bin Awad bin Laden, the founder of one of the wealthiest non-royal families in Saudi Arabia.
