If this is true, I'm surprised it took so long. Haven't they been living in seclusion?

Well it seems they've been merrily travelling the world shopping in their private jet.
It looks like an accident, given the account of the 'rogue' small aircraft they tried to avoid, but who knows ?

meh... Good riddance..

Weren't these the people that disowned him a long time ago?

Wow. Am I the first to S&F this?! The odds of dying in a plane crash are 1 in millions. It's a bit ironic in the timing seeing how Jeb Bush is running for president. You know, the same guy that seized flight records from huffman aviation who helped train Mohammed Atta, one of the 9/11 "hijackers".

So Osama's sister and stepmother happen to die in a statistical anomaly on their families airline?

Seems legit.

I dont believe for one second that rich ass family didnt funnel him all kinds of $$$$. while publicly calling him the black sheep.

a reply to: alienjuggalo

Why?

There's little evidence they were involved with him, or his activities. You don't get to choose your family.

Wow. You should probably read up on the Bin Laden family. There are hundreds of them & Osama was the outcast. Their grandfather was patriarch of the family & the right hand man of the Saud family when it formed Saudi Arabia. He was the construction tycoon who virtually built the modern kingdom. Because of this, the Bin Laden's are like a mixture between the Kennedy's, Rockefellers, & Bush's in America. Family members are big in business, politics, religion, and many other areas. Osama was not only kicked out of the family but he had his wealth confiscated and/or frozen long before he was killed.

As for the OP, this sucks. I don't wish death on anyone. And I think only a fool blames someone because of the crimes of their relatives. In fact, one of the fundamental pillars of my religion is that we're only responsible for our own actions & inactions.

Not very nice do we blame the mothers and sisters of all criminals?.
Hardly fair that.
RIP to all involved.

a reply to: alienjuggalo

...and for that you wish good riddance?

That's a tad bit overly sensitive, don't you think?

Who cares if they hate America? They're dead. They can't possibly do any harm, assuming for the moment, they did any to begin with.

I've seen alot of horrible things said about these people over the last twenty-four hours. They dissowned Bin Laden many years ago and have tried to live their lives as normal as they can, without much luck.
They are humans after all and don't deserve to be labeled the same as Bin Laden just because they're family.

If someone is a Killer, are the whole family punished for his/her crimes for the rest of their lives?

a reply to: britchik

Tsk tsk, those Bin Ladens.....

Always flying planes into buildings......

a reply to: britchik

I reckon a drone shot it down... the same one that filmed the crash!

Not to be callous but I'm not sure why this is big news...

Can you please prove that, and y'know, other than through the usual "middle eastern person must be evil!" bs?

Because they were related to bin Laden via the massive bin Laden family??? Isn't that like blaming them just for existing?
