Spain rejected an asylum request from a son of Osama bin Laden on Wednesday after deciding he had not met the conditions necessary for him to remain.
Omar Osama bin Laden, 27, flew to Spain earlier this week and remains in a transit area at Madrid's Barajas Airport, an Interior Ministry official said. He has 24 hours to appeal the government's decision.
"The Interior Ministry has not accepted the request for asylum because this does not meet the conditions necessary for entering Spain," the official said, speaking on condition of anonymity in line with government policy.
The official would not elaborate or discuss the younger bin Laden's reasons for seeking asylum.
