Saudi Arabia Will Protect Bin Laden Family

The Saudi Arabian Interior Minister, Prince Nayif bin Abad al-Aziz Al Saud, has announced that the bin Laden family will be given protection both at home and abroad, as they are not responsible for the September 11th terrorist attacks, which the USA is accusing Osama bin Laden of masterminding. As is known, Osama bin Laden was stripped of Saudi citizenship in 1994 and Riyadh has repeatedly requested that he be extradited from Afghanistan to face charges of organizing two explosions in Saudi Arabia. There are currently 24 members of the Laden family living in the USA. Osama bin Laden's father, originally from the Yemenese province of Hadramawt, is a billionaire, who moved to Saudi Arabia after starting his working life as a docker in Aden. He made his fortune in construction in Saudi and has had 57 children from his numerous wives.
