Egyptian authorities have denied entry to one of Osama bin Laden's sons and put him on a plane to Qatar.

The refusal means Egypt becomes the third country to reject the self-proclaimed "ambassador for peace", an airport security official said.

Omar Osama bin Laden, 27, and his British wife arrived at Cairo International Airport over the weekend after he unsuccessfully tried to seek political asylum in Spain, claiming he would not be safe if he returned to an Arab country. The couple had lived in Egypt for the past year.
