The Saudi-registered plane ploughed into a car auction site and burst into flames in southern England on Friday.

While the embassy did not comment on the identities of the dead, a source close to the family speaking to AFP and Saudi media indicated that they were bin Laden’s mother, his sister Sanaa, the sister’s husband Zuhair Hashem, and a Jordanian pilot.
