One of Osama bin Laden's sons was recently married in Saudi Arabia, according to a militant Islamic website, where well-wishers congratulated the suspected terrorist.

A brief report on the marriage of Ali bin Laden was published in the Saudi edition of Asharq Al-Awsat newspaper on Thursday.

"Ali married a daughter of a Saudi family. The wedding party was held in the house of the groom's uncle in the city of Jeddah," the newspaper said.

It did not elaborate on who the bride was or the son's age and profession. The article went onto say that only the bride's and groom's families attended the wedding.

One of the messages posted on an Islamic Web site said: "Praying to God to bless you (the son) to terrify America as your father did.

"We ask God to give him offspring who struggle for God and the Prophet's sake."

Terrorism experts believe al-Qaida, bin Laden's terrorist group, has made repeated use of the internet, but it has been difficult to trace and confirm postings attributed to al-Qaida that appear periodically on several sites.

The sites themselves often disappear and reappear, changing addresses as those who run them try to avoid being identified.
