Osama bin Laden's son Omar has been refused entry to Egypt, airport sources say, giving no reason why his name was on a list of people banned from the country.
Omar, 34, Osama bin Laden's fourth-eldest son, was travelling with his British wife Zaina al Sabah from Doha on Saturday, and they asked to be sent to Turkey, the sources said.
The couple, who lived in Egypt for several months in 2007 and 2008, were previously denied entry to the country in 2008.
Omar bin Laden broke with his father in 2001 after living in Afghanistan for much of 1996 to 2001.
In an interview with Reuters in 2010, Omar said he was working with Saudi Arabia and Iran to end his separation from a group of brothers and sisters that dates back to the chaos in Afghanistan following the al Qaeda attacks of September 11, 2001.
Omar said bin Laden's children were trying to be "good citizens of the world" but suffered from the lack of a father and the stigma of being the al Qaeda leader's children. None were part of al Qaeda, he said at the time.
