Osama Bin Laden’s Family Found in Iran

Bin_Laden1_family

Osama bin Laden’s closest relatives, including a wife and children who disappeared from his Afghan camp at the time of the 9/11 attacks on the United States, are living in a secret compound in Iran, reports The Times of London.

“There has been uncertainty about the family’s whereabouts for the past eight years, with reports that some of the children had been killed in bombings, while others had joined their father in planning terrorist attacks.

“However, relatives said that they found out last month that the group, including one of Osama’s wives, six of his children and 11 of his grandchildren, had been kept in a high-security compound outside Tehran.

“They have been prevented from contacting the outside world while Iran has repeatedly denied that any of the relatives were living in the country. Members of the bin Laden family are now appealing for the group to be allowed to leave Iran and described them as the ‘forgotten victims of 9/11.” More here…

    Nice black arab! One of the best things to come from the Middle East is the arabian horse. Many americans prefer the large, dull and fattened quarter horses that were bred to race 1/4 mile [hence the name]. With undersized hooves prone to navicular, they plod along like lumbering oxen unless startled and then have a tendency, many of them inbred, to bolt with fear until calmed, like they were supposed to do on the race track. Yet americans just LOVE them because they're american!…lol…

    The arabian horse like the one in the picture has a noble and firey appearance. They are leaner, often with arched necks, flared nostrils, alert looking around and compact strong bones, good wide feet for navigating sandy areas. Yet for as flightly as they look and act, when you get on one it is the funnest ride of your life. When they spook, they turn and face the thing that scares them and back away from it instead of run. This can save your life. If you fall off of them and your foot is stuck in the stirrup, they turn to face you laying on the ground until you free yourself.

    I've seen a good friend battered nearly to death by the innate foolishness of a quarter horse that unseated her, spooked when she fell halfway off with her foot stuck in the stirrup. I watched her head get bounced over, I dunno, dozens of rocks? before her boot came off and she managed to be free. She had a concussion for days. She was lucky. Another gal I know suffered permanent brain damage when the exact thing happened to her just down the road from where I live.

    Arabs are faithful, firey, strong for their size and truly are worth their weight in gold.

    Oh, the Bin Ladens…right.. Are these the same family members that Bushco. gave orders to whisk out of the country on a taxpayer-paid jet ride within a week after 9-11? http://www.judicialwatch.org/6322.shtml Or were those a different Bin Laden group? And are we now going to use the fact that Iran is “harboring” the Bin Laden family as an excuse to invade? The gig is up. We're tired of this BS..

    HEllo Swaraaj and happy new year, may you and your family thrive in happiness. My daughter just returned from a month in India. What beauty.

    Regarding your article, Iran holding the Bin Ladens. I wonder what in the archives of the US Government, buried somewhere, are the real details of how, why, this was all carried out in secret and exactly by whom. Otherwise it has the stink of nazis being secreted out of the war zones to South American and the US and Central America in 45-and onward.

    Dear silouhette: What is it about an arabian horse that is so gallant, so beautiful on sight; like yours, my eye went immediately to that black beauty.

    kind regards,
    dr.e

    It is the spirit that you can see in them the minute you lay eyes on them, a kind of “horse-fire” and purity. It's hard to describe. I recommend anyone curious find an arabian horse and spend a little time with it.
