Osama Bin Laden Son Omar checks into mental hospital as surrogate announces she's pregnant

Omar Bin Laden with his wife, Zaina.
The Bin Ladens might want to call Dr. Phil.
A day after Al Qaeda chief Osama Bin Laden's estranged son Omar broke up with his British wife nearly twice his age, a woman acting as a surrogate for the couple announced she's pregnant, the Daily Mail reports.
The reason for the split: 29-year-old Omar started hearing his father's voice and checked into a psychiatric hospital.
Omar Bin Laden and his 54-year-old wife, Jane Felix Browne who converted to Islam and changed her name to Zaina, had been trying to have a child for years until the surrogate, Louise Pollard, got pregnant on her third IVF attempt.
"I'm still happy they're having the baby they've dreamt about but I feel very nervous," Pollard told the Mail, adding that Zaina Bin Laden tells her the breakup is just temporary until Omar Bin Laden regains his marbles.
Pollard maintains she did not know Bin Laden had mental issues.
"I had no idea that Omar was about to have a breakdown and that they would break up. And now I'm pregnant it's too late," she said.
Bin Laden married Zaina in 2006 and has unsuccessfully tried to get a British visa. Having a British son could help his cause. The couple currently lives in Qatar.
The terror boss's son apparently was off his rocker for the past several weeks, racking up more than $5,000 in driving tickets and going on lavish spending sprees, the Mail reports.
In one harrowing episode, Zaina Bin Laden says she was in the car with her husband and had to grab the wheel. "It was as if he had drunk 10 pints," she said.
"Our wedding vows said in sickness and in health' but if this goes on any longer I could end up dead," Zaina Bin Laden, a grandmother of five, said.
She blames her father-in-law for her husband's madness.
'There's no one else responsible for this. Omar loves and hates Osama at the same time," she said.
"He loves him because he is his father but hates what he has done. I think he suffered post-traumatic stress disorder after 9/11," she said.
"Seeing what his dad done ruined Omar's life."
