Osama bin Laden apologised to his children for neglecting them in a will written three months after the September 11 attacks. The al-Qaeda leader also told his offspring not to join al-Qaeda and ordered his wives not to remarry.
"You, my children, I apologise for giving you so little of my time because I responded to the need for Jihad," the will states.
The four-page document, published in a Kuwaiti newspaper, is largely devoted to justifying the terrorist's efforts to destroy America and Israel. There is no mention of possessions. Bin Laden was believed to have inherited an £18 million ($27.6 million) fortune from his father, a construction magnate in Saudi Arabia.
The instruction to his 24 children not to fight jihad cites a precedent from the Islamic texts.
