<i>'Laden had a passion for sunflowers, fast cars' </i>

The first wife of Osama bin Laden has come out with a no-holes barred book revealing the complex character of the world's number one terrorist.
In her memoir written with help of her fourth son Omar, Najwa bin Laden recounts that Osama is a contradiction of personality traits.
"Growing Up Bin Laden" discloses that Osama was a disciplinarian who would beat his children for showing too many teeth when they smiled, but maintained a passion for sunflowers and fast cars.
"Osama's favourite undertaking was working the land, growing the best corn and the biggest sunflowers," Najwa said.
Najwa revealed that Osama banned the use of electrical appliances in his home and tried to toughen up his sons by making them climb desert mountains without water.
"My father would not allow my mother to turn on the air conditioning that the contractor had built into the apartment building. Neither would he allow her to use the refrigerator that was standing in the kitchen," The Telegraph quoted Omar, as saying.
According to the book, world's most wanted terrorist was also fond of mangos and the BBC.
