Parish councillor Jane Felix-Browne, 51, told the Sun the pair are both in fear of their lives.

Five-times married Mrs Felix-Browne met 27-year-old scrap metal dealer Omar bin Laden in Egypt in September.

At the time she said she had "married the son, not the father" and hoped people would not judge her harshly.

But now she said terror chief Osama's powerful Saudi family feel they have been humiliated by the marriage.

She told the Sun: "People are opposed to my marriage because I am British. I wasn't prepared to see the man I love die.

"It was a really, really good marriage, a strong marriage. But I cannot stand by and watch my beloved husband die before my very eyes.

"The bin Laden family are afraid of the political implications of a British woman being married to the son of Osama bin Laden. They fear embarrassment and complications, not just in their own country but also in Britain and America."

When their marriage was announced, Mrs Felix-Browne said she believed she met Osama bin Laden at a party in London in the 1970s.

Saudi Arabian-born Osama bin Laden is one of the world's most wanted men, with a 25 million-dollar bounty from the US government on his head.
