| DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) - The family of Osama bin Laden denounced the notorious Saudi dissident on Saturday and offered their condolences to victims of the terror attacks in the United States. In a telephone interview from the Red Sea port city of Jiddah, the head of the wealthy bin Laden family, Sheik Abdullah Awad Aboud bin Laden, expressed deep sorrow over Tuesday's attacks. "The family has previously announced its position (to distance itself) from Osama and condemned his acts. All the family members condemn all violent and terrorist acts, even if Osama is behind them," said the sheik, who is bin Laden's uncle. |
