Madrid - Spain is likely to reject an application for political asylum lodged by Omar bin Laden, one of the 19 children of al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden, the daily El Pais reported Wednesday.
Omar bin Laden, 27, requested asylum at Madrid airport on Monday.
His plane made a stopover in Madrid while flying from Cairo to Casablanca in Morocco.
Bin Laden argued that he did not feel safe in Saudi Arabia, which he is a citizen of, or in Egypt, where he lives, or in any other Arab country.
