| (AKI) - Al-Qaeda leader Osama Bin Laden's son-in-law is number 39 on a list of 47 wanted alleged terrorists that the Saudi Arabian government recently gave to international police organisation Interpol, according to Arab-language newspaper Al-Hayat. Bin Laden bodyguard Muhammad Salim Barikan, 47, married Bin Laden's 27-year-old daughter Fatima when she was 13. Barikan's name appeared a few months ago on a number of jihadist online forums saying he had been killed by an American drone attack in Pakistan's northwest Waziristan province. Barikan left Saudi Arabia in 1997 to join Al-Qaeda in Afghanistan where he became a trusted confident of the terrorist leader. Following his marriage to Fatima, Barikan lived for months in a cave on the border with Pakistan |
