Shown together for the first time, this is Osama Bin Laden and the son who rejected his terror creed and went on to marry an English parish councillor.
Omar Bin Laden, now 26, was just 15 when he was pictured with the father he describes as gentle and kind, with a love of football and a great sense of humour.
He admits he went through terror training with the Al Qaeda leader in Afghanistan, but insists he left more than a year before the September 11 attacks in 2001.
He says he has not seen his father since and does not know where he is.
Omar, who married Cheshire grandmother Jane Felix-Browne, 52, in September last year, spoke at length about his father in his first major interview.
He also said he hopes to live in England again and discuss peace in Iraq with Gordon Brown.
Omar said his reported divorce from Miss Felix-Browne was staged because they received death threats and they now want to have a child together.
Medical problems mean they are looking for a surrogate mother - or a fourth wife for Omar - prepared to "have a Bin Laden baby".
Omar, one of a dozen half-brothers, went on: "My father may be the world's most wanted man, but I'm no threat to anyone.
"I want to become a peace ambassador in Britain because I truly believe I'm the one person my father will listen to.
"I'd like to meet Mr Brown to try to help stop this war."
Omar said he left Afghanistan because he did not want to fight anyone. "My father was fine about it," he said. "He just told me 'God go with you'."
He insisted his father liked Britain and its people, despite the bloody July 2005 terror attacks in London.
Omar said: "He lived in London as a student and I'm sure he'd stop the war if the Americans and British pulled their troops out of Afghanistan and Iraq.
"That's why I want to meet your Prime Minister, to give him some insight into my father and the way he thinks.
"If he were given cast-iron guarantees on his safety, I hope he'd be at the forefront of the negotiations. I feel he is sick of the war and wants it to stop."
Turning to the subject of Miss Felix-Browne, Omar said: "We're going to have an English wedding with her family in Cheshire and I want to spend the rest of my life with her in England."
Miss Felix-Browne, who has been married six times, is also interviewed for a BBC1 documentary to be shown this week.
The couple are seen strolling hand in hand near their home in the Egyptian resort of Sharm El Sheik. Miss Felix-Browne said they hope to live in her £550,000 house in Moulton, Cheshire.
He is the favourite son of the world's most wanted man, a 14-year-old ready to fight. But not all of Hamza bin Laden's family share his hatred of the West. Annabel Crabb examines a family torn apart by terrorism. IMAGE REMOVED
Life as a trained killer hasn't made the boy's eyes less liquid or his cheeks less rounded by the chubbiness of youth.
He looks happy, and the Kalakov - a semi-automatic weapon that is like a Kalashnikov, with smaller bullets - is held loosely in his knitted fingers.
It's his father's favourite gun. And his father is the most wanted man in the world.
Hamza bin Laden, at 14, is already a veteran of adult combat.
Footage posted on extremist websites last year depicts the teenager participating in a deadly attack on Pakistan security forces near the Afghanistan border. Among the younger of international terrorist Osama bin Laden's sons, he is also reported to be the favourite.
Certainly, he is not among the dozens and dozens of family members who have disowned their murderous kinsman. But the bin Laden clan, with its unimaginable wealth and its tangled family tree, has always had room for perversity.
Hamza is not the only young bin Laden to be pictured in the international press of late. His cousin, Wafah, an aspiring New York singer and model, has just appeared, scantily clad, in a series of photographs in the magazine GQ, flanked by an interview in which she rails against her uncle's assaults on her adopted homeland.
"There are 400 other people related to him, but they are all in Saudi Arabia, so nobody's going to get tarred with it. I'm the only one here," she complained.
Wafah's mother , Carmen bin Ladin (spellings of the surname vary across the family) is a leading family rebel.
A beautiful woman of Swiss and Persian descent, Carmen married Osama bin Laden's elder brother Yeslam in 1976, after which the happy couple enjoyed a period of swinging Western life studying in California.
The marriage deteriorated, however, when the young family moved back to Saudi Arabia and spent nine years in the bin Laden family compound in Jeddah.
Her recent book, The Veiled Kingdom, provides some enlightenment regarding life inside one of the world's most extraordinary families.
She met Osama rarely - after all, he was one of 53 brothers and sisters-in-law, from the forest of children born to the bin Laden patriarch, Mohammed, and his assorted wives.
But she was thrown into regular contact with Osama's first wife, Najwa - his maternal first cousin - who is believed to have borne him 11 children.
One hot summer, Carmen watched as Najwa struggled with her dehydrated baby son, Abdallah.
Osama forbade the use of baby bottles, viewing them as a symbol of Western decadence - he took a strict view of the Koranic teaching that it is a mother's duty to breastfeed her child.
Najwa had no milk and was reduced to trying to feed the crying child with teaspoons of water.
Sheikh Mohammed bin Laden built an impressive construction empire based on close ties with the Saudi royal family before he was killed in a plane crash in 1967.
Worth an estimated $US11 billion ($A14.7 billion) at the time, he left his children outrageously wealthy even though there were so many of them.
Two years later, it is claimed, Osama and his brother, Salem - who would take over as the dynasty's leader - fronted up in a Rolls-Royce for a holiday in Sweden.
Osama's university and school friends remember him as a devout youth, but Christina Akerblad, who in 1970 was the owner of the Hotel Astoria in Falun, Sweden, recalls a pair of mischievous and extravagant young men.
Salem had been educated in Britain and was a confident person who fancied himself with a guitar. "They came with a big Rolls-Royce, and it was forbidden to park the car outside the building in this street. But they did it, and (my husband and I) said to them, 'You have to pay (a fine) for every day and every hour you are staying outside this hotel,' but they said, 'Oh, it doesn't matter - it's so funny to go to the police station and to talk with the police. We will stay where we are.' It was like a joke to them. They had so much money they didn't know how much money they had."
This account has been challenged by some historians, who argue that there is no proof Osama bin Laden ever travelled to Europe. In any event, he married his cousin at 17 and quickly matured into a deeply religious man.
Opting to practise polygamy, he married again and again and had more children, but his extraordinary wealth was not apparent in his lifestyle.
In a new book published by al-Qaeda specialist Peter Bergen, former Libyan jihadist Noman Benotman describes Osama bin Laden's children as growing up in hardship.
"You see his kids - you will never, ever in your life think those kids are bin Laden's kids, (rather that) they are people from the poorest family in the world. I saw them. You wouldn't believe it; they're kids running around in old clothes," says Benotman.
"He always tells his followers, 'You should learn to sacrifice everything from modern life, like electricity, air-conditioning, refrigerators, gasoline. If you are living the luxury life, it's very hard to evacuate and go to the mountains to fight.' "
Indeed, one of Osama's wives, an academic and teacher known as Umm Ali, reportedly divorced him on the grounds that she could not live in such penury.
But his four wives, between them, managed to bear Osama more than two dozen children; most estimates of his progeny fall between 24 and 27, of whom up to 18 may be sons.
Bin Laden's Pakistani biographer, Hamid Ali, met with him after the September 11 attacks. With bin Laden were three of his sons, Muhammad, Ali and Saad, then 16.
"I had a picture with Saad sitting with his father, and a gun is lying in his lap, and I asked bin Laden, 'He is a young boy. Why is he carrying a gun?' " the writer recounts.
"And he said that this is his own decision. So I asked a question to Saad, 'Are you following the footsteps of your father?' And he answered very confidently, 'No. I am following the footsteps of my Prophet.' "
In the same interview, bin Laden told Hamid that he had fathered another child, a girl, after September 11. "I gave her the name of Safia, who killed a Jew spy in the days of Holy Prophet Muhammad, so that's why. She will kill enemies of Islam like Safia of the Prophet's time," he said.
Saad, now in his early 20s, is believed to be an active jihadist who occupied an elevated position within the ranks of al-Qaeda.
As a child and teenager, he travelled extensively in Afghanistan with his father and in April 2002 is believed to have provided support for the bombing of a Tunisian synagogue in which 19 people died.
Not all of Osama's family share his taste for jihad.
In the GQ feature, Hamza's cousin Wafah - who was a law student living just blocks away from the World Trade Centre when her uncle attacked it in 2001 - lounges on a bed and in a bath, wearing ostrich feathers in the former and bubbles in the latter.
The article is entitled "It ain't easy being the sexy bin Laden".
"My mom is always telling me that if I say something too drastic, I might get killed by a fundamentalist," Wafah confides during the interview.
"My mom is freaking out every day that some crazy fundamentalist is going to say, 'How dare she say that?'."
It seems a reasonable fear.
And Osama's eldest son, Abdallah, whose suffering as an infant caused his Westernised aunt such dismay, does not fight by his father's side.
He left his father's household, with permission, when Osama moved from Sudan in 1996 to a difficult and uncertain future in Afghanistan.
(Osama had fled to Sudan after Saudi Arabia withdrew his passport in the wake of the 1993 World Trade Centre bombing. His involvement in the bombing also prompted the bin Laden family to disown him publicly.)
Abdallah married a cousin in January 2001. His father, then only months away from confirmation as a global uber-villain and household name, attended the wedding.
After September 11, it was claimed that the Saudi Government had slapped a travel ban on Abdallah, keeping him as a hostage of sorts to discourage his father from mounting violent attacks on the kingdom.
Abdallah, for his part, defended his father and accused the world's media of misrepresenting him.
"My father is a calm and quiet person by nature," he insisted in a rare interview, given to the London-based Arabic newspaper Asharq al-Awsat in late 2001.
According to December's New Yorker magazine, Abdallah now runs his own advertising and events management firm in Jeddah, appropriately called Fame.
Sitting beside an outlet of American coffee chain Starbucks, Abdallah's firm promises that its events are always "novel, planned meticulously and executed with efficiency".
