Osama kin killed in Madagascar burglary

According to his brother, Jamal was in Madagascar on business. Malek said 25 to 30 armed men broke into Jamal’s house “while he was sleeping,” and killed him. His family was not with him. They stole everything—his computer, all of his things,” he said.

He added that his main concern was “to collect my brother’s body”.

Malek said he did not have more details because his brother was a Saudi citizen and Saudi Arabia did not have an embassy on the East African island.

The Philippine government sought Jamal for allegedly financing the Abu Sayyaf, an Islamic militant group.

But Jamal denied this, most recently in a letter he

published in the Philippine paper The Daily Inquirer on Saturday in which he said: “I have never given any money to any person or group, and certainly not to the Abu Sayyaf.”

Jamal also said in his letter that he had a “disagreement” with Laden and left Afghanistan in 1986, “and we have been apart from each other since then.”

The United States named Jamal as an “unindicted co-conspirator” in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing in New York, and arrested him the next year in San Francisco. He was deported without standing trial.
