AP[ SUNDAY, JULY 11, 2004 10:56:03 PM ]

GENEVA: Osama bin Laden's sister-in-law describes him as a man so driven by his beliefs that he would deny a water bottle to his own infant son in the heat of the Saudi desert.

"I'm sure Osama would not have wanted to lose his baby. By his insistence, his wife used a spoon instead of a bottle,” said Carmen bin Laden, the Swiss sister-in-law of the alleged terrorist mastermind.
