| Saudi Receives Bin Ladens on Humanitarian Grounds |

| [An Nahar] Soddy Arabia has allowed the three widows and children of slain Al-Qaeda chief the late Osama bin Laden ... who now dances with worms... entrance into the kingdom on humanitarian grounds, a Saudi-owned daily reported on Saturday. Citing a senior Saudi official, the London-based Asharq al-Awsat said the kingdom "dealt with bin Laden's wives on humanitarian grounds," adding that authorities were confident that they and the children "were not involved in" the operations of the bad boy group. The widows -- two Saudis and a Yemeni -- arrived on Friday with their 10 children, after being expelled from Pakistain, Mohammed Naji Allaw, head of the Yemeni non-governmental group Hood, told AFP. |

| #2 Not really. One of Bin Laden's targets was the House of Saud, which he viewed as the corrupt guardians of Mecca and wanted to replace with a caliphate. The Sauds, for their part, didn't mind the existence of al-Qaeda, as long as it (and Osama) stayed out of the Magic Kingdom. However, the Bin Laden family themselves exercise a bit of influence within KSA; hence the allowing of the widows and children in. All easily research-able to those that take the time. It seems that those that ignore history are condemned to post ignorant commentary. |
