Bin Laden niece in glamour shots
 

The niece of Osama Bin Laden has posed for provocative photographs for an American magazine.
Wafah Dufour, an aspiring musician and model, is the daughter of the al-Qaeda leader's half-brother Yeslam.

She appears stripped to ostrich feather lingerie, and in a bubble bath, in photos for American GQ magazine.

US-born, she says she is an American, and distances herself from her uncle. "Everyone relates me to that man, and I have nothing to do with him," she says.

Ms Dufour, 26, took her mother's maiden name after the events of 11 September 2001.

She lived in Saudi Arabia, where Bin Laden is from, until she was 10, before moving on to Geneva and back to the US.

'Like any New Yorker'

She says she never sees any of the extended Bin Laden clan, including her father.

"There are 400 other people related to him, but they are all in Saudi Arabia, so nobody's going to get tarred with it. I'm the only one here," she said.

Her father and Osama Bin Laden are among more than 50 children fathered by Mohammed Bin Laden, a Yemeni immigrant to Saudi Arabia, and construction magnate.

Ms Dufour was in Geneva when the 11 September 2001 attacks on the US, masterminded by her uncle, were launched.

She said: "I was freaking out, crying hysterically, watching this in horror. I was like 'Somebody's bombing my city, and I wanna go home!'"

"I was born in the States, and I want people to know I'm American, and I want people to understand that I'm like anyone in New York. For me, it's home," she said.

Good for her. I hope that no one gives her a hard time about her relationship to Osama. After all, you can't pick your relatives.

I've seen her on TV news shows. She's a pretty good looking woman. I don't know if she has any talent, though.

She has to be super tall because shes got some crazy long legs!!

And probably the photographer used a very short (wide) lens and was very close to her. That elongates everything in the foreground. Look at how big her feet look in the picture.

Here's a Google link to her name:

Tall women have long legs and big feet.

if she is sincere in what she says , than i say good for her, ppl should not judge her for who she is related too.

Didn't he also have a half brother who was a student at Harvard? i thought i heard that somewhere

Who knew?

In the case of this picture, her feet look as long as her shoulders are wide.

It's the lens.
