She walks down the street on the Upper East Side of Manhattan, thin and stylish, just another well-heeled beauty chatting away on her cell phone. Except that she isn't — she's Usama bin Laden's (search) niece. Wafah Binladin (search) left the city in the months before her uncle's ghastly attack, but she's back now, living at a friend's posh pad off Park Avenue, pursuing her career as a pop star and living it up on the social scene at swanky Soho House. Although the Saudi Binladen Group (search) changed its name, at least when dealing with one U.S. firm after 9/11, at least a dozen Wall Street firms are still linked to the company, experts say. The family's rich ties have prompted hundreds of relatives of 9/11 victims to sue the firm.
A complaint filed in U.S. court, the families charged, "While publicly denying a relationship with Usama, a number of the bin Laden brothers and brothers-in-law personally and privately support his cause and contribute to jihad."

not only that, but I'll bet you just want to know.
How many wives did obl's father have?
From what I gathered about the Binladen family, they want nothing to do with the guy and have done what they can publically to disown him but im afraid short of killing Osama themselves, they are just words.
I cant trust them especially knowing they took off weeks before 9-11
As I understand it she is a Bombshell.
hmm stumbled across this by the girl's mother on google

"
Osama came to exemplify everything that repelled me in that opaque and harsh country: the unbending dogma that ruled all our lives, the arrogance and pridefulness of the Saudis, and their lack of compassion for people who didn’t share their beliefs. That contempt for outsiders, and unyielding orthodoxy, spurred me on to a fourteen-year struggle to give my children a life of freedom.
"
she explode like one too.
Bush did 9-11, there's the proof!
Wuh fu....?
Living the bohemian lifestyle in New York and pursuing a career as a pop star suggests that she is not an Islamist fanatic. Just another spoiled little rich girl, I'd guess.
If she's trying to make it as a pop star and visiting the night clubs in New York, I hardly think she'd make it as Osama's favorite niece. Proper Muslim girls stay inside swathed head to toe for fear a male eye might spot them. Bin Laden probably wouldn't have cared if she ended up dead on 9/11.

alot of mid east chicks are hot. Look at the syrian woman on the front cover of USA today, today. Very very good looking.
Lets look at it this way.Would we have allowed Hitlers niece to live among us.
People who accept her in NYC are traitors.
NYC is filled with unamerican/antiamerican inhabitants. She will fit right in.
I like to refer to the bohos who dwell in places like Williamsburgh and the East Village as "Trustafarians."
"Why is she here? It's kind of an insult especially to be in NYC Personally I would not trust any of them Period."
Agreed. Apples never fall far from the tree...
Her name should not be a problem over there.
Absolutely NOT true; read the 9-11 report.
