Osama bin Laden is obsessed with singer Whitney Houston, even though her music is "evil," claims a Sudanese poet and novelist. The writer, Kola Boof, says bin Laden told her he had a "paramount desire" for Houston, wanted to possess her, and talked about having her husband, Bobby Brown, killed.

The 37-year-old writer's autobiography, Diary of a Lost Girl, is excerpted in the magazine Harpers' Bazaar.

Boof claims bin Laden raped her and held her prisoner in a Moroccan hotel as his sex slave for four months 10 years ago, talking about Houston constantly.

"He told me Whitney Houston was the most beautiful woman he'd ever seen," Boof writes in the autobiography.

"Osama kept coming back to Whitney Houston ... He said he wanted to give Whitney Houston a mansion that he owned in a suburb of Khartoum."

Boof says bin Laden was willing to spend huge sums of money to go to America and try to arrange a meeting with Houston.

She says Bin Laden said he was willing to break his color rule to make Houston one of his wives and he thought she was "truly Islamic" but "brainwashed by American culture and by her husband Bobby Brown."

In her book, Boof also says that bin Laden read Star magazine and Playboy and liked to watch The Wonder Years, Miami Vice and MacGyver.
