London, Sept.19 : A British grandmother, who wed Osama bin Laden’s youngest son, Omar, has decided to divorce him after just five months of marriage, as she fears both will be murdered.

Jane Felix-Browne, 51, who wed Omar, 26, in April, told The Sun: “We are both in fear of our lives.People are opposed to my marriage because I am British. I wasn’t prepared to see the man I love die. That is why we have decided to end our marriage.”

She told how al-Qaeda terror chief Osama’s powerful Saudi family had been humiliated by their marriage. She claimed threats were made that scrap metal dealer Omar would be flung in prison on trumped-up charges. Omar feared losing all his business contracts unless they divorced.

In a trembling voice, five-times wed Jane insisted: “It was a really, really good marriage, a strong marriage. But I cannot stand by and watch my beloved husband die before my very eyes. I love him enough to let him go. I want him and his son, who is just three, to return to as normal a life as possible.

This decision will hopefully take the pressure off Omar and his family. I will never marry again. My heart will always be with Omar and I will take my love for him to the grave.”

Parish councillor Jane, from Moulton, Cheshire, fears talking out against the mega-wealthy bin Laden family. But The Sun understands they demanded that Omar dump his British wife. Omar, whose son is from his first marriage to a Saudi wife, also received threats in a call to his mobile last week.

“We were both absolutely devastated. We cried for three whole days,” Jane said.

Omar runs his business in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, and it’s thought he depends on his family’s network of contacts.

In a last-ditch bid to save their marriage Jane wrote to Saudi Arabia’s king last week to ask for his backing. She received no reply.

Omar, who says he has not been in contact with his evil dad for six years, met Jane while horse riding at Egypt’s pyramids in April last year. After their wedding, the couple ruled out living in Britain because they feared Omar might be attacked.

I adore being with this woman. But we can’t stand up when the waves from the sea are coming to wipe us out,” Omar said. (With inputs from ANI)
