Family members of Osama Bin Laden were on board a plane which crashed in Hampshire, the Saudi Arabian embassy in the UK has said.

The private jet crashed near Blackbushe Airport, Yateley, on Friday killing the pilot and all three passengers.

In a statement on Twitter, the Saudi ambassador to the UK, Prince Mohammed bin Nawaf Al Saud, offered condolences to the Bin Laden family.

The embassy said it was in contact with the British crash investigators.

The statement said: "His Royal Highness Prince Mohammed bin Nawaf Al Saud... has paid his condolences to the family and relatives of Mohammed bin Laden at Blackbushe airport in Britain for the great loss they have suffered as a result of the crash of the plane that was carrying the family."

That's for sure.

But somehow, I don't quite see a bunch of parked cars having quite the same effect as the World Trade Center.

Perhaps they needed to think that one through a bit more.

Though it does highlight the point that the 9/11 terrorists were mostly Saudis, not Afghans, Iranians or Iraqis.
