Osama bin Laden’s closest relatives are living in a secret compound in Iran, members of the family said last night. They include a wife and children who disappeared from his Afghan camp at the time of the 9/11 attacks on the United States.
There has been uncertainty about the family’s whereabouts for the past eight years, with reports that some of the children had been killed in bombings, while others had joined their father in planning terrorist attacks. However, relatives said that they found out last month that the group, including one of Osama’s wives, six of his children and 11 of his grandchildren, had been kept in a high-security compound outside Tehran.
They have been prevented from contacting the outside world while Iran has repeatedly denied that any of the relatives were living in the country.
Members of the bin Laden family are now appealing for the group to be allowed to leave Iran and described them as the “forgotten victims of 9/11”.
Omar Ossama bin Laden, 29, the al-Qaeda leader’s fourth-eldest son, said he had no idea that his brothers and sisters were still alive until they called him in November. They told him how they had fled Afghanistan just before the 9/11 attacks and walked to the Iranian border. They were taken to a walled compound outside Tehran where guards said they were not allowed to leave “for their own safety”. The eldest of the children, Saad, was 20 at the time, Ossman 17, Muhammad 15, Fatma 14, Hamza 12, Iman 9, and Bakr, 7.
There had been speculation that Muhammad was second in command of al-Qaeda and that Saad also instigated and

Let’s bring ‘em to Illinois!!
Just one more good reason to nuke Iran...
He is allowed to have three wives, four if he can manage them finacially plus as many concubines as pleases him - of either sex. Just ohe perks of Islam for men... maybe this is why so many lieberals support Islam?
You are on to something there - muslims do not care how many fighters die - they have already chosen death. Kill their families and watch them run. Turn Mecca to glass and watch them go looking for a new religion...
He’ll probably invite them for a night in the Lincoln bedroom.
Now who would have guessed they’d be in IRAN????? </sarc>
Remember that one? The thousand year old tribal blood-feud that was consuming Iraq in an endless civil war?
Haven't heard a word about that since the 2006 elections. Because it was a lie. The whole Sunni/Shia thing was another bald-faced media lie.
I thought that this was reported many years ago; I definitely remember reading about his favorite wife and her children, as well as his eldest son living in Iran.
After very early reportage, the MSM never mentioned anything more about this... but I'm certain that many people other than me do not forget those very early reports from people who got phone calls from people on the hijacked planes.
If they were there, the National Reconnaissance Office knew it. The satellites can count nose hairs from Low Earth Orbit, through clouds at night.
If Iran can forge an alliance with OBL - and they may already have - then, get ready for you know what.
Ahmadinejad and OBL.
Ahhhh. Very interesting, to say the least! And a true slap to the liberals who intoned that since the 9/11 Bombers were SUNNI, and Iran is SHi’ite, that the two had absolutely NOTHING to do with one another.
And of course there was no connection to Saddam either, even though he WAS a Sunni ans was harboring both Abu Nidal and Abu Abbas, two other terrorists from Back-In-The-Day. (Tenerife, Achille Lauro, Black September, Old-School Arab terrorists!)
When will they ever learn? (To quote a song Pete Seeger STOLE from the Cossacks! LOL)
I have little doubt that OBL could be in Iran. Shiite Sunni disagreements would take a back seat when it comes to working against the ‘Great Satan’.
There is an old saying - the enemy of my enemy is my friend. It certainly applies here.
FYI
We keep being told that Sunnin Al-Qaeda is an enemy with Shiite Iran. Hmmm.
They’re all bound together when the enemy is the US and Israel.
I think he only had three.
