A half brother of Osama bin Laden told a French judge that the two men and other relatives had access to a shared Swiss bank account in the 1990s to collect and redistribute family inheritance money.

Swiss citizen Yeslam Binladin, who spells his name differently from the terror leader, appeared briefly before investigating judge Renaud Van Ruymbeke yesterday in a long-running probe of suspected money laundering.

Binladin told the judge that two of his brothers had created the account at Swiss bank UBS to collect and redistribute family funds – and Osama bin Laden was among the beneficiaries, the officials said.

Binladin, questioned on a previous occasion by the French judge, had said he had not had contact with the al Qaida leader for about 20 years.

1. ah yes to bush family's best saudi friends

and the news anchors around the country collectively cough and turn their heads.

2. He was the black sheep of the family

But they shared the PIN number of the family bank account. This is interesting. I hope some news agency out there follows up. I wish Micheal Moore would have been able to work this into F911.

Maybe the Bush family had the PIN number too.

"Private investigator Jean-Charles Brisard said he received new information in May from Swiss authorities indicating the terror kingpin had access to a joint account with his half brother at UBS from 1990 to 1997."

"“We can wonder why the bank left this account open until 1997, whereas the United States officially designated Osama bin Laden as a financier of international terrorism in August 1996,” Brisard said."

4. maybe little George puts money in the account ...

in the form of tax dollars and big George takes it out in the form of laundered tax dollars. If not this account, perhaps many others. Who knows. It isn't like anyone could stop them if they did know. They can do as they please and not be held accountable.

George could eat a live baby on national TV and by the next day the story would be that Kerry ate a live baby 35 years ago. And the sheeple would all buy it.

5. Were any of the Binladins who share in the joint account with

Osama part of the group flown out of the country after 9-11? You know, the ones who were not interrogated.

6. soulsick when I read this story that was my thought exactly

8. I guarantee that they were

I'd like to say "I'll wait and see", but in Totalitarian Nations (or those trending towards it) like Imperial Amerika, confirmation is redundant in matters of Imperial Corruption.

7. I thought they were estranged Now they share a Bank Account

and Bush let all his brothers and Sisters out of the country
