Nor Hell a Fury, like a Woman scorn’d.’

As speculation emerges that Osama bin Laden may have been betrayed by his first wife, that old saying seems to be re-validated In 1697, the English author William Congreve wrote a poem called The Mourning Bride which ended with the following lines: ‘Heav’n has no Rage, like Love to Hatred turn’d. Nor Hell a Fury, like a Woman scorn’d.’ More than 400 years later, these words still carry a angry resonance as speculation rages that Osama bin Laden was tracked down not by brilliant spy work by the CIA but because his first wife Khairiah Sabar betrayed his location.
