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.

Osama bin Laden's Saudi citizenship was publically revoked in April 1994.

1. Shit, why don't they change it to Bin Jovi?

It might help the niece who's trying to launch a singing career.

(BTW, rumors that her first single will be a cover of John Denver's "Leavin on a Jet Plane" are completely untrue!)
