Osama bin Laden tried to purchase the world's largest pearl, the Pearl of Allah, as a gift to Saddam Hussein "to unite the Arab cultures," and Hussein was prepared to accept, according to the pearl's owner.
Victor Barbish, who owns sixty-six percent of the pearl on behalf of his daughter, told WorldNetDaily he received an offer in 1999 from individuals who said they were "from bin Laden's group" to purchase the pearl for $60 million to give to Hussein as an overture of unity between al-Qaida and the Iraqi government.

Some are making comments, that show you didn't read the article. If you did, you would receive very clear answers and understanding of what happened. Let me be the first to say...
THIS IS HUGH!
But will the MSM pick it up?
To: GeorgeBerryman
It kind of looks like a brain. If you took Osama's brain and added it to Saddam's brain, would you have enough to equal that?

I think any sane person knows that all the terrorist groups are tied together in one way or another. That's one of the reasons we needed to take out Saddam. Al-qaeda lost a base of operations in Afghanistan. Well, aren't they gong to turn to sworn enemies of the U.S. for help? Iraq, Syria, Iran, they all have to be dealt with. Jim

Sorry, I don't believe it. The islamo-fascists hate Sadaam. They call him the "socialist infidel." Remember who Sadaam repressed? The islamo-fascists.

"Why didn't he accept it?"
Why didn't WHO Accept WHAT?
Are you asking why the owner didn't accept Bin Laden's offer? Ask the owner.
