'He told me Whitney Houston was the most beautiful woman he'd ever seen.'

Boof, 37, says he could not stop talking about the songbird, even though he disapproved of music.

'Osama kept coming back to Whitney Houston,' she says in the book, excerpted in the magazine Harpers' Bazaar. 'He asked if I knew her personally when I lived in America. I told him I didn't.

'He said that he had a paramount desire for Whitney Houston, and although he claimed music was evil he spoke of someday spending vast amounts of money to go to America and try to arrange a meeting with the superstar.

'It didn't seem impossible to me. He said he wanted to give Whitney Houston a mansion that he owned in a suburb of Khartoum.

'He explained to me that to possess Whitney he would be willing to break his colour rule and make her one of his wives.

'Whitney Houston's name was the one that would be mentioned constantly.

'How beautiful she was, what a nice smile she has 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 had once claimed she had to take her son out of a Los Angeles school after rumours surfaced that bin Laden was his father.

She also says his favourite television shows were The Wonder Years, Miami Vice and MacGyver.
