Bin Laden was 'cute and sweet'
Osama bin Laden was a "cute and sweet" teenager, according to a Swedish hotelier.
Kristina Akerlund says bin Laden and his brother were "the most delightful boys".
The prime suspect in the terrorist attacks on America used to spend holidays in Sweden with his family.
A photo in Sweden's Aftonbladet newspaper shows the youthful Saudi dissident smiling with his sisters and elder brother. They are seen posing next to a car in Falun in 1971.
The paper says the 16-year-old's limousine was given parking fines on a daily basis for falling foul of parking regulations. The fines were paid.
Ms Akerlund owned a hotel in the Dalarna province, where the young bin Laden spent several summers.
"He and his brother were just the most delightful boys. I recognised his photo in the newspapers immediately. The only bizarre thing was that they ate all their meals in their room, and didn't often emerge," she told the paper.

Ms Åkerlund is clearly aiding the terrorists and should be sent to Guantanmo asap!
