Report: Bin Laden's Son Killed in Pakistan Air Strike
http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=106903109&from=mobile
U.S. officials believe Saad bin Laden — a son of Osama bin Laden — has been killed by an American missile in Pakistan. Saad bin Laden reportedly spent years under house arrest in Iran before traveling last year to Pakistan, according to former National Intelligence Director Mike McConnell. It's believed he was killed by Hellfire missiles fired from a U.S. Predator drone sometime this year. A senior U.S. counterterrorism official tells NPR that without a body to conduct DNA tests on, it's hard to be completely sure. But he characterized U.S. spy agencies as being "80 to 85 percent" certain that Saad bin Laden is dead. The U.S. counterterrorism official says Saad bin Laden wasn't important enough to target personally — that he was "in the wrong place at the wrong time." He was active in al-Qaida, but was not a major player, the official said. He was believed to be in his late 20s. "We make a big deal out of him because of his last name," the official added. It's not known whether Saad bin Laden was anywhere near his father when he died. Close but no cigar.

I've heard that most of the Bin Laden family completely disagrees with Osama and wants nothing to do with him or his beliefs.

I thinnk that OBL has been dead for years now, since the B52's were bombing the caves in Tora Bora
Why is that all you have heard from him since is some audio recording that does not specify any events, or are so vague that they could have been recordrd years ago, or could be someone that just sounds like him. He used to produce video recordings, but no more. He's a ghost (oops wrong thread)
