So a couple of bin Laden's sons were grabbed. BFD. He has plenty more, not like the dynasty will end with the capture of a pair of them.
Getting all the bin Laden offspring is like trying to catch rabbits. They reproduce faster than most control methods short of outright eradication.

In particular, if it is Saad bin Laden that has been captured this is a very big deal. He is believed to be the heir apparent to Osama and filling in for him now due to his ill health.

If these were the younger sons, that would be the case.
HOWEVER, Saad is the HEIR to Al-Queda and so he knows a lot. Furthermore, Hamza is the son that is reportedly closes to OBL. Both were caught, not the insignificant little munchkins.

Well, both MAY have been caught. Quite frankly, I was under teh impression the U.S. vigorously denied this claim yesterday, but this article makes it sound like that is not so. I am not quite sure what the heck happened.
