SAUDI ARABIA: BIN LADEN FAMILY REQUESTS SURNAME CHANGE

Riyadh, 26 July (AKI) - The family of Osama bin Laden has asked the Saudi monarchy for permission to change its surname. The on-line newspaper Arabian Business reports that "the relatives of the 'sheikh of terror' no longer want to be recognised as belonging to the bin Laden family and have therefore asked to change the surname on their passports." The royal family is thought to have approved the request, according to the newspaper, which it describes it as "unprecedented".

The family itself revealed that it had made the request to journalist John Bradley, who first got to know them while he was editor of the English language Saudi newspaper Arab News and bin Laden's nephews told him how they had left the United States immediately after September 11 on a special flight which took them back to Saudi Arabia.

The large, well-known family, which established the Binladen group, Saudi Arabia's biggest construction firm, is one of the largest holding companies in the Arab world. In the past it has won contracts to expand the two holy mosques at Mecca and Medina, and on several occasions has declared itself opposed to terrorism, even employing public relations agencies to defend its reputation and emphasise the distance between them and the al-Qaeda leader.

1. Bush is probably getting embarrassed to be linked to

Bin Ladens. More obstraction.

------------------

Remember Fallujah

Bush to The Hague!

2. Changed to something like.......

BUSH? Osama bin Bush. Kinda rolls off the tongue.

[DoYouEverWonder]

3. Oh sure that will solve the problem

With all their money and resources why don't they help find him instead so that justice can be served? Oh no, we couldn't have that now can we? Just change your name to protect the guilty, that's the ticket.

[Jara sang]

9. That is if he hasn't already been rubbed out.

[DoYouEverWonder]

18. Not going to happen

the bin Laden family won't stand for it and they are too powerful for the BCF to go against them.

[SpiralHawk]

4. Are these the same Bin Ladens that Bush flew out of U.S. on 9/11?

I mean a couple of days after 9/11?

i always found it suspicious that there were so many Binladens in the USA at the time of 9/11, and that Bush and BushCo opened all the doors to fly them home afterward, while American citizens were forced to stay on the ground.

Why did Bush open the escape hatch for all the Binladens ???

What Fahrenheit 9/11 Says About the Saudi Flights Out of the Country After September 11

Sen. Byron Dorgan: We had some airplanes authorized at the highest levels of our government to fly to pick up Osama Bin Laden's family members and others from Saudi Arabia and transport them out of this country.

Narration: It turns out that the White House approved planes to pick up the bin Ladens and numerous other Saudis. At least six private jets and nearly two dozen commercial planes carried the Saudis and the Bin ladens out of the U.S. after September 13th. In all, 142 Saudis, including 24 members of the bin Laden family, were allowed to leave the country.

ALL FACTS CONFIRMED AND DOUBLE CONFIRMED

7. from the article:

"bin Laden's nephews told him how they had left the United States immediately after September 11 on a special flight which took them back to Saudi Arabia."

Seems that way.

[KansDem]

22. They'll need to inform the White House of their new name.

So when Osama bin Smith strikes again, Bush can fly them all out again.

Airport Officer: "Special charter flight for bin Ladens! Special charter flight for bin Ladens!"

Former bin Laden: "We are the 'Smiths' from Saudi Arabia"

Airport Officer: "Sorry, the President has authorized a charter flight for the 'bin Ladens' only..."

[StrafingMoose]

15. They should also request...

The Saudi's intel service to stop funding OBL and having Bush & Croanies Inc. classify this afterwards.

That would REALLY help to tone down the smearing campaign.
