bump. Note a common thread in Bin Laden's financial dealings is that they all seem to be tied to an extended family member or in-law. This is in stark contrast to his political and military maneuverings. I would note that this may provide a means of tracking his actions and intentions. Also note the pattern of his investments and terrorist activities; USS Cole/Yemen, construction, aviation training, telecommunications, biotechnology.

The $24 million supposedly seized is a fraction of the money we are talking about here. It was bait, left to satisfy the western media when the western goverments had to take action. Note every time we go after real money in say, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, UAE, Pakistan, there is an inexplicable delay as the local government seeks clarification. During that period, I'll bet the money is being wired around the globe to protect it from seizure.

Thanks for the bump. I just linked to this article on yesterday's thread:
