update

I don't want my whole blog to be about Omar Bin Laden, but just in case you want to an update, Spain does not heart Omar.

Aterrizar

aterrizar: to land, to touch down
aterrorizar: 1: to terrify 2: to terrorize

Another example of why spelling is important in any language. Omar Osama Bin Laden aterrizó ayer en el aeropuerto madrileño. He landed at the Barajas airport. He did not terrorize it.

Spain will decide soon whether or not he can stay.

BBC has what seems like a current picture of him. No more rastas.

Omar: hippie black sheep of the Bin Laden family?

I just read an interesting article on one of Osama Bin Laden's 19 sons. According to Spain's El Pais, Omar Bin Laden, 28, arrived at Madrid's Barajas airport yesterday and asked for political asylum. He was en route from Cairo to Casablanca and had a layover in Madrid.

Sweet things I gleaned from this article:
-He is a self-proclaimed pacifist.
-He recently married a 52 year old British woman. It is her sixth marriage.
-He hasn't been in contact with his father since 2000.
-He likes horses. He met his wife while she was riding a horse and tried to organize a horse race in Africa to promote peace (also from the BBC article).

Check out the El Pais article to get a good look at his crazy rastas (dreadlocks).
