MADRID, Spain - A lawyer for Osama bin Laden's son says Spain has rejected her client's final appeal for asylum and will deport him.
Lawyer Bianca Sharma says officials are preparing to put Omar Osama bin Laden on a plane to Egypt later today.
The Interior Ministry could not be reached for comment.
The younger bin Laden flew to Spain on Monday and remains in a transit area at Madrid's Barajas Airport.
He claimed he would not be safe if returned to an Arab country, but Sharma told The Associated Press that argument was rejected.
The 27-year-old metals trader has been living in Cairo with his English wife. He has not renounced his father, but has said he wants to be an `ambassador for peace' between the Muslim world and the West.
