This seems like an invaluable piece of intelligence. From the London Daily Mail — Osama bin Laden’s former sex slave says the al Qaeda leader has a “paramount desire” for Whitney Houston:

Terror mastermind Osama bin Laden is so obsessed with singer Whitney Houston he thought about killing her husband, Bobby Brown, it was claimed last night.

The suggestion is made by Sudanese poet and novelist Kola Boof, who claims she was bin Laden’s sex slave for four months 10 years ago.

Boof has written a new autobiography. The paper quotes her book:

“Whitney Houston’s name was the one that would be mention[ed] constantly.

“How beautiful she was, what a nice smile she has, how truly Islamic she is but is just brainwashed by American culture and by her husband Bobby Brown, whom Osama talked about having killed, as if it were normal to have women’s husbands killed.”

Boof also notes that bin Laden’s favorite television programs include MacGyver (natch), the Wonder Years and Miami Vice. She also says she found copies of Playboy and Star magazine in his belongings. (via Gawker)
