Good Move on the Name

NEW
YORK (Reuters) – Osama bin Laden’s niece, an aspiring singer who posed
for a sexy photo shoot in a men’s magazine last year, has signed up for
a reality television show about her life and her as yet unfulfilled "quest
for stardom."

Wafah Dufour Bin Ladin, whose mother was married to the al Qaeda leader’s
half brother, was born in California but lived in Saudi Arabia from the
age of three to 10.

"I understand that when people hear my last name, they have preconceived
notions, but I was born an American and I love my country," Dufour
said in a statement from ReganMedia announcing the deal to develop a reality
TV series.

Dufour has dropped the "Bin Ladin" — a different spelling of
the Arabic name from that used by Osama bin Laden — and now goes by the
name Wafah Dufour.
