Cairo : Al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden was urged by his son to stop terror attacks as they do no good to anyone, an Egyptian news agency reported Tuesday.
Omar bin Laden, 26, made the remarks during an interview with an Egyptian TV programme broadcast Monday.
He said that the killing of civilians contradicts religion, democracy and humanity and expressed his intention to be an ambassador for peace.
Omar also called on his father to stop using bombs and weapons and to find another way to reach his goals.
He added that he has no contact with his father and has not heard from him since he left his father in Afghanistan in 2000.
Omar’s British wife Jane Felix-Brown, who has changed her name to Zaina Alsabah, also appeared on the TV show. The two got married last year.
Omar denied that Felix-Brown was Jewish, saying that her father, an Arab Muslim, immigrated to Britain in 1946 and married a British Christian woman there.
The couple were reportedly planning a horse race across North Africa to draw attention to the cause of peace.
