Osama Bin Laden’s Family Owns Part of Microsoft and Boeing Among Other Companies

[smartguy911]

The financial interests of the bin laden family are represented by the Saudi Binladen Group, which is a global oil and equity conglomerate with an annual turnout of over $5 billion. Apart from this, the bin laden family operates one of the largest construction firms in Saudia Arab, offices of which are spread out as far as London and Geneva. Interesting thing to note here, and what is also the gist of this article, is that the bin laden family owns part of Microsoft as well as of the well-known aircraft manufacturer Boeing, amongst various other companies.

So that family benefits financially when US tax payers increase military spending on Boeing hardware and or Microsoft software.

Interesting, so far mostly high oil prices driven up by perpetual global wars appeared to profit mideast arab oil producers.

That said, not everyone in the Bin Laden clan looks like a terrorist:

I thought he family disowned him long ago. They were business people, and he chose to be a radicalized fundamentalist terrorist. He was the exception, not the rule.
