Osama bin Laden’s son, Omar ordered to leave France

French Officials have instructed Omar, the son of deceased Al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden, to depart from the country.

The 43-year-old has been asked to leave over posts on social media, according to France’s new interior minister, Bruno Retailleau.

Omar was born in Saudi Arabia and has also lived in Sudan and Afghanistan.

He left his father at 19 and eventually moved to Normandy in northern France in 2016.

However, on Tuesday, Retailleau said on X (former Twitter) that Omar bin Laden had “posted comments on his social networks in 2023 that advocated terrorism”.

“As a result, the prefect of Orne issued an order to leave French territory.

“The courts have confirmed the legality of this decision taken in the interests of national security,” he added.

Retailleau also confirmed that he had signed off on a ban preventing Omar bin Laden “to return to France for any reason whatsoever”.
