"We consider this is a humanitarian issue," Saudi Foreign
Minister Prince Saud al-Faisal told a news conference.
"We are negotiating with the Iranian government on this
basis," he said.
Imam bin Laden, 17, recently fled from a family compound
near Tehran to the embassy in hopes of leaving Iran, where
she, several siblings and one of Osama bin Laden's wives
have lived under house arrest for several years.
British newspaper The Times reported 11 of the Al-Qaeda
terror network chief's grandchildren were also living in the
high-security compound outside Iran's capital.
The group fled Afghanistan just before the September 11,
2001 attacks on the United States and walked to the Iranian
border, where they were detained and taken to the walled
compound by guards, the Times said.
Prince Saud declined to give any details of the talks with
Tehran, saying it could complicate the issue.
Iran Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki was quoted on
December 25 as saying the teenager would be free to leave
Iran once her identity is confirmed.
"The foreign ministry told the embassy that based on
international conventions if her identity is confirmed she
can leave Iran with passage documents," ISNA quoted Mottaki
as saying.
"We were not able to confirm her identity but the embassy
says she is" the daughter of bin Laden, he added.

A government, of Israel, by Israel, and, for: Israel.
But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light:
for whatsoever doth make manifest is light. The light shineth in darkness;
and the darkness comprehended it not. The light of the body is the eye:
if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light.
But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness.
If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness!
Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead,
and Christ shall give thee light. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
