boastful NSA officials used to replay recorded satellite telephone conversations between the master terrorist and his mother in his native Saudi Arabia. I thought the Bin Laden family had DISOWNED Osama. If this is true, what's he doing on the phone to Mom? More importantly, how much of the Bin Laden fortune is Mom funneling to Osama's buddies?
Only a fool would discount importance of brotherhood and family when examining this clan.
New York Times today,Sun 9/30/01 pg B3. Article on bin Laden family states that bin Laden was portrayed as a "loner in a large family. His mother, a Syrian, was set apart from other wives and the whisper of scandal that surrounded her may have deeply affected Osama bin Laden"
Wonder how many of the other 52 siblings "phoned" Mom(s)? Anyone know what the scandal was about?
