NEW YORK -- Osama bin Laden's niece, in an interview with GQ magazine in which she appears scantily clad, says she has nothing in common with the al-Qaida leader and simply wants acceptance by Americans.

''Everyone relates me to that man, and I have nothing to do with him,'' Wafah Dufour, the daughter of bin Laden's half-brother, Yeslam Binladin, says in the January edition of the magazine, referring to the al-Qaida leader.

''I want to be accepted here, but I feel that everybody's judging me and rejecting me,'' said the California-born Dufour, a law graduate who lives in New York. ''Come on, where's the American spirit? Accept me. I want to be embraced, because my values are like yours. And I'm here. I'm not hiding.''

Dufour, a musician who adopted her mother's maiden name after the Sept. 11 attacks that have been blamed on bin Laden, appears in several provocative photos in the magazine.
