Members of Osama Bin Laden's family have reportedly been killed in the Hampshire plane crash

The pair were killed when a Phenon 300 executive jet burst into flames as it plunged into 15 parked cars at Blackbushe Airport in Hampshire, according to Arabic media reports.

The plane's Jordanian pilot and another passenger, who has not been named, were also reportedly killed.

The private jet, worth a staggering £7million, was owned by Salem Aviation in Saudi Arabia – a group controlled by the dead terrorist's family.

The tail number of the plane, HB-IBN, was originally used by his father Mohammed before he died in a crash in 1967.

But the Bin Laden family retained the registration after his death.

The plane was flying into Hampshire from Milan in Italy when it overran the airport runway before crash-landing into the parked cars at a car auction.

The jet's tail number was originally registered by his father Mohammed

The Saudi Ambassador to Britain, Prince Mohammed Bin Nawaf Al Saud, offered condolences on the embassy's official Twitter account to the bin Laden family.

He wrote: "His royal Highness Prince Mohammed bin Nawaf bin Abdul Aziz, the ambassador of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques to the United Kingdom, offered his condolences to the sons of the late Mohammed Bin Laden and their relations for the grave incident of the crash of the plane carrying members of the family at Balckbushe Airport."

The Saudi embassy said it was working with British authorities to investigate the incident and to hand over the bodies for funerals and burials.

Bin Laden was the founder of notorious terror group al-Qaeda, which was behind the horrific September 11 attacks in 2001, killing almost 3,000 people.

He was shot and killed by US Navy Seals in May 2011.

Witness Daphne Knowles, a retired research scientist at the Ministry of Defence, said she knew immediately "something was wrong".

She said: "The plane looked like a business jet and it was flying too fast and too low to be able to land at Blackbushe Airport.

"It just dived down towards Blackbushe and the next thing I saw was a huge column of thick black smoke.

"At first I thought it was a fighter jet because of the loud noise it was making and also because it was moving at such a high speed.

"It was flying with its engine screaming and very fast – I knew straight away that something wasn't right."

Andrew Thomas, who was paying for a car at the time of impact, said the plane "exploded".

He said: "I saw it when it had just happened, and could see the plane and cars in flames.

"The plane nosedived into the cars and exploded on impact.

"I have heard from staff here that four people were on the plane."

Bin Laden was shot and killed by US Navy Seals in May 2011

Officers were called just before 3.10pm.

Acting chief inspector Olga Venner of Hampshire Police said: "We can confirm that there were four people on board, including the pilot.

"Sadly there were no survivors. No one on the ground has been injured and we would urge anyone with any information, including pictures or videos, to contact 101."

She added that police had launched a joint investigation with the Air Accidents Investigation Branch.

The airport is close to the M3 and A30 and motorists have been advised to avoid the area.

The plane exploded as it crashed into a car auction center near Blackbushe airport in Hampshire(Twitter)

A Saudi private jet carrying three passengers and a pilot crashed in southern England on Friday, reportedly including members of the family of al-Qaeda leader Osama Bin Laden, who died in Pakistan in 2011.

The plane crashed killing all onboard. A spokesman for Britain's Hampshire police service said an investigation into the causes of the incident had been launched.

British media reports said the plane was carrying Osama bin Laden's half-sister and stepmother.


The Saudi ambassador to the United Kingdom, Prince Mohammed bin Nawaf bin Abdul Aziz, offered his condolences to the Bin Laden family on his Twitter page, but did not confirm the identities of the victims.

The embassy said it is collaborating with British authorities to investigate the incident and ensure the speedy handover of bodies to the kingdom.


The Embraer Phenom 300 jet crashed into a car auction center near Blackbushe airport in Hampshire on Friday, killing the three passengers and a Jordanian pilot.

The plane was flying into Hampshire from Milan, where the Bin Ladens are understood to have business interests in northern Italy.

The Phenom 300 jet was registered to a Bin Laden-owned firm called Salem Aviation, named after the former al-Qaeda leader’s eldest brother, who himself died in a plane crash in 1988.

The terrorist leader’s father was also killed in a plane crash in 1967 in Saudi Arabia when his helicopter crashed into a mountain in Taif.

While this all looks like a freak accident, I cannot help but find this all a little bit strange.

My tin hat may be showing itself here but I think there may have been something more to the crash than meets the eye.

Images of the Bin Laden family members that were killed in a plane crash in southern England on Friday have been circulated by the international press.

The images show Osama Bin Laden’s half-sister, Sana Mohammed Bin Laden and her mother, Raja Bashir Hashim, and his brother-in-law, Zuhair Hashim, who were killed in the plane crash along with Jordanian pilot, Mazen Al-Aqeel Da’jah Salem.

The pictures were published on the twitter account of Walid Bin Abdul Mohsen, who seems to have known the family well, on Saturday with the caption “Sina Bin Laden, her mother and her husband, Dr. Zuhair Hashim who died at the mercy of God.”

A statement was also released that 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.”

The embassy also said that they would work with the British authorities to ensure a quick repatriation of the bodies for burial.

The plane was flying into Hampshire from Milan, where the Bin Laden family are understood to have business interests in northern Italy.

The Phenom 300 jet was registered to a Bin Laden-owned firm under the name Salem Aviation, after the former al-Qaeda leader’s eldest brother, who also died in a plane crash in 1988.

High strangeness that's what I'd call it. Bin Laden Sr, dies when his helicopter crashes into a mountain. His eldest son dies in a plane crash. And then . . . his daughter and wife also die in a plane crash? There's more to this than mere coincidences. Karma or something else? A curse maybe?

I read on the BBC site a few days ago saying that the pilot was calling in multiple distress signals or something to that effect. They plane was definitely in distress on it's way down from what I read.

I really think this is some sort of cover up job.
