Bin Laden's Son Speaks Put

Omar bin Laden, Osama bin Laden's fourth eldest, has spoken about what has happened to his father. He says that President Obama should be held legally responsible for what has happened and the fact that Osama was buried at sea was humiliating to their family. Being buried at sea goes against their religion. The son also wants to take legal action against the United States. Omar has said "We hold the American President (Barack) Obama legally responsible to clarify the fate of our father, Osama bin Laden, for it is unacceptable, humanely and religiously, to dispose of a person with such importance and status among his people, by throwing his body into the sea in that way, which demeans and humiliates his family and his supporters and which challenges religious provisions and feelings of hundreds of millions of Muslims."
