A niece of Osama bin Laden is striking racy poses for a men's magazine, GQ, as she tries to shrug off her connection with world's most wanted man. Aspiring pop singer Wafah Dufour, daughter of a half-brother of Laden, told that she feels most at home in New York. She was born in USA and want people to know her as an American, and she want people to understand that she is like anyone in New York". Dufour, who uses her Swiss mother's maiden name, disclosed. "For me, it's home. "She speaks softly and deliberately. Word 'Wafah' means "faithful one," but 'Dufour' is not her real surname. She changed it after being quoted in New York tabloids as distant niece of one of the most despised terrorists in Western world. "Before 9/11, 'Bin Laden' was like ' Smith' or 'Jones', but after that it had such a terrible connotation that I couldn't keep it," the 25-year-old explains. "I don't even speak Arabic. I don't even have a Saudi passport." She has nothing in common with the Al-Qaida leader and simply wants acceptance by Americans.
