Saddam Hussein, Osama Bin Laden & Whitney Houston?

Whitney Houston sold out arenas and had number ones across the globe, but never thought that she would have admirers like this. During his time in Middle Eastern politics, Saddam Hussein used Whitney Houston's 'I Will Always Love You' as a song to win over his followers for his 2002 re-election bid.

The late American singer, also had another admirer. None other than Al-Qaeda leader Osama Bin Laden. This was revealed by author Kola Boof, who had a intimate love affair with the planner of the September 11th attacks.

Boof reveals in her book 'Diary Of A Lost Girl' how Bin Laden spoke on numerous occasions about wanting to meet the singer and convince her to become of his wives. This was a passion of his, although his beliefs forbid him to marry outside of his racial boundaries. He believed that she was a very 'Islamic' woman brainwashed by American culture and her husband Bobby Brown, whom he had spoken about having killed just to let Whitney 'free'.
