Two dozen members of Osama bin Laden's family were urgently evacuated from the United States in the first days following the terrorist attacks on New York and Washington, according to the Saudi ambassador to Washington.

One of bin Laden's brothers frantically called the Saudi Arabian Embassy in Washington looking for protection, Prince Bandar bin Sultan told The New York Times. The brother was sent to a room in the Watergate Hotel and was told not to open the door.

Most of bin Laden's relatives were attending high school and college. The young members of the bin Laden family were driven or flown under FBI supervision to a secret place in Texas and then to Washington, The Times reported Sunday.

Since bin Laden's citizenship was revoked 10 years earlier and was estranged from his family, what should have been done to the family in America?

Wonder how many of Osamas 50+ brothers and sisters were involved in terrorism?

Wonder how many of Osamas 50+ brothers and sisters were involved in terrorism?

Who knows for sure. No one does, really.

seriously?

You don't think the family members hadn't been investigated, continuously, since Osama left the mujahideen,and helped create AQ?

Osama's will is made known...

Bin Laden will divides $29-million assets, calls for ‘jihad’
Wednesday 2nd March, 2016 - In his handwritten will, al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden claimed he had about $29 million in personal wealth — the bulk of which he wanted to be used “on jihad, for the sake of Allah.”

The will was released Tuesday in a batch of more than 100 documents seized in a May 2011 raid that killed bin Laden at his compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan. The al-Qaida leader planned to divide his fortune among his relatives, but wanted most of it spent to conduct the work of the Islamic extremist terror network behind the Sept. 11 attacks. The will did not disclose much detail about where he amassed his wealth, but bin Laden’s father ran a successful construction company in Saudi Arabia for years, and the will noted that $12 million was from his brother on behalf of the Bin Laden Co.

The threat of sudden death also worried other family members. “If I am to be killed,” a bin Laden son wrote to his father in a 2008 letter, “pray for me a lot and give continuous charities in my name, as I will be in great need for support to reach the permanent home.” The letter was signed, “Your son, Sa’ad Bin Usama,” according to the U.S. translation from Arabic. The letters were included in a batch of documents released by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence. They address a range of topics, including fractures between al-Qaida and al-Qaida in Iraq, which eventually splintered off into what is now known as the Islamic State; and bin Laden’s concerns about his organization’s public image and his desire to depict it as a united network.

In a letter to one of his wives who had been living in Iran, bin Laden expressed worry that her visit to a dentist could have presented the Iranians an opportunity to implant a small chip under her skin, apparently as a tracking device. “My dear wife,” he began. “I was told that you went to a dentist in Iran, and you were concerned about a filling she put in for you. Please let me know in detail ... any suspicions that any of the brothers may have about chips planted in any way.” The Iranian dentist might have used a slightly enlarged syringe to make such an implant, bin Laden wrote in the letter. The U.S. translation is undated. “The size of the chip is about the length of a grain of wheat and the width of a fine piece of vermicelli,” bin Laden said. He asked her to recall the exact date of her dental work, “also about any surgery you had, even if it was only a quick pinch.”

In another letter, addressed to “The Islamic Community in General,” bin Laden offered an upbeat assessment of progress in his holy war since 9-11 and of U.S. failings in Afghanistan. The letter is undated but appears to have been written in 2010. “Here we are in the tenth year of the war, and America and its allies are still chasing a mirage, lost at sea without a beach,” he wrote. “They thought that the war would be easy and that they would accomplish their objectives in a few days or a few weeks, and they did not prepare for it financially, and there is no popular support that would enable it to carry on a war for a decade or more. The sons of Islam have opposed them and stood between them and their plans and objectives.”

Osama bin Laden worried wife had tracking device in filling
Mar 1,`16 WASHINGTON (AP) -- Hiding in Pakistan, an increasingly paranoid Osama bin Laden suspected Iran of implanting a tracking device in his wife's mouth and drafted a will directing much of his $29 million fortune to be spent on jihad after his death.

The details about the al-Qaida leader's life were released Tuesday in a second batch of letters and other documents seized in a May 2011 raid that killed bin Laden at his secret compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan. The letters detail his rift with militants who later broke off from al-Qaida and formed the Islamic State, as well as plans for a media blitz to mark the 10th anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks. Other correspondence resonates with suspicion and fear.

In a letter to one of his wives who lived in Iran, bin Laden expressed worry that her dental appointment could have allowed Iranians to implant a tracking device under her skin. "My dear wife," he began. "I was told that you went to a dentist in Iran, and you were concerned about a filling she put in for you. Please let me know in detail ... any suspicions that any of the brothers may have about chips planted in any way." The Iranian dentist might have used a slightly enlarged syringe to make such an implant, bin Laden wrote in the undated letter. "The size of the chip is about the length of a grain of wheat and the width of a fine piece of vermicelli," bin Laden said. He asked her to recall the exact date of her dental work, "also about any surgery you had, even if it was only a quick pinch."

In another letter, bin Laden warned about using safe methods for moving money. "It is important to get rid of the suitcase in which the funds are delivered, due to the possibility of it having a tracking chip inside it," he wrote. He said that funds should be shuttled by vehicle but only on cloudy days - an apparent reference to avoiding a U.S. drone strike. One document is a signed, handwritten will that intelligence officials suspect was written before bin Laden's departure from Sudan in 1996. He claimed he had about $29 million that he planned to divide among some relatives, but the bulk was to be used "on jihad, for the sake of Allah."

It was not clear if bin Laden actually had access to so much money, if he shared the will with anyone, and if his instructions were carried out. Bin Laden's father ran a successful construction company in Saudi Arabia, and the will noted that $12 million of the total was from his brother on behalf of the Bin Laden Co. The newly released materials reveal an al-Qaida network that was sometimes disorganized behind the scenes and struggling to keep its fighters unified, according to two senior intelligence officials, who spoke only on condition of anonymity to brief reporters on the documents. The officials said they portray a leader who was aware of his group's hardships in the field, yet appeared not to fully understand what his organization could actually accomplish.

Leftovers from the Clinton administration authorized the departure of the bin laden family after 9/11. And that was back when the entire country was under a no fly zone. That came out during the hearings.

Add to that, Bill Clinton was the first president that failed to get bin laden, leaving 9/11 on the table for bush to use as a soap box & microphone to promote their invasion of Iraq. And wouldn't you know it, Clintons wife Hillary, later went on to vote in favor of the Iraq war during her one term as a us senator.

There's nothing in that article that says that the members of the Bin Laden family that left after 911 were among those who died.

That flight out of the US had *way* more than 3 people. Plus, the Bin Ladin family is enormous.

Nope. It was after the no fly was lifted. Like a week after. They went out on September 20th.
