Questions about plane crash that killed Bin Laden relatives
In an online statement, the Saudi ambassador to the UK confirmed that members of the late Osama bin Laden were killed Friday when their private jet crashed into a car park in southern England. They were identified as the dead terrorist’s stepmother Rajaa Hashim, his sister, Sana Bin Laden, his brother-in law, Zuhair Hashim and the pilot Mazen Al Doaja. The Beechraft twin-engine aircraft had been flying from Milan, Italy, for one of several recent vacation trips to the UK. Aviation experts are baffled by the pilot’s actions in climbing 500 feet as the plane came into land, then diving at high speed to plummet into a car park, instead of landing on the Backbushe airport tarmac in Hampshire.
