CNN Interview with Osama Bin Laden's son Omar Bin Laden

He is the son of a terrorist. He says he wants his father to stop the violence. CNN's Aneesh Raman interviewed Omar Bin Laden.

At first glance, twenty-six-year-old Omar seems the image of a modern Middle-East. He drives a jeep, has dreadlocks and his wife is a British national. You'll never guess this is Osama Bin Laden's son.

Interviewer: What age did you start training with Al-Qaeda?

Omar:I started training maybe in fourteen.

As a child, Omar was a soldier in his father's army, training in Afghanistan like so many others. But by 2000, Omar felt Al-Qaeda was heading for a fight he didn't want any part of.

Omar: After a few years, we started the war, the fight becoming bigger and bigger and I see a lot things being bigger and my eyes are open on all, a lot things and I think what if I go outside and see how the life outside.

It was a decision Omar says his father accepted.

Omar:He told me if this is your...your what? [your choice, your decision] yeah, your decision. What I can tell you. I like you to be with me, but if you, this is your decision.

So father and son went their separate ways, but for Omar there was no running from the Bin Laden name, not after September 11, 2001.

Interviewer: Where were you when 9.11 happened? How did you first learn about it?

Omar: I am in Saudi Arabia.

Interviewer: Did you immediately think your father was behind it when you saw the news?

Omar: Yeah, maybe.

Interviewer: And what went through your mind?

Omar: The same, I'm younger, I don't know what I felt how I will have to feel. [he was only eighteen, nineteen] Sure when I see something get killed ,I feel sad.

Seven years later,his father is now the world's most wanted man.

Interviewer: Are you in touch with your father at all right now?

Omar: Sure not.

Inerviewer:Do you have any idea where he is?

Omar: No.

Inmtervierer:Do you think that he will ever get caught?

Omar: I don't think so.

The reason Omar says wherever Osama is, the people around him will never turn.

Omar: The people there is different from here. The people there is, has freedom between them and the God. They can do anything by God permission. They didn't care about the goverment..

As for Omar, he's caught between love of a father,

Interviewer: Do you think that your father is a terrorist?

Omar: You know I don't think my father is a terrorist.

and the hatred of tactics that kill innocent civilians.

Omar: I like to say to my father, try to find another way to help or to find your God. And this is bomb, or this is weapons. He's not good to use it for anybody.
