A private jet crashed in southern England on Friday, killing four people on board, a spokesman for the Hampshire police service said, and Saudi and British media said the passengers were relatives of deceased al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden.
A spokeswoman for the British police said: "There were no survivors, unfortunately. There were four people onboard including the pilot," but she did not provide their identities.
Without confirming the identities of the victims, the Saudi Ambassador Prince Mohammed bin Nawaf al-Saud offered condolences on the embassy's official Twitter account to the bin Laden family, a prominent Saudi Arabia clan with vast business interests.
