Undertoad Monday Sep 24 12:36 PM9/24: Young bin Laden

Thanks |> /\ \/ @ for this image from the UK's Sun (think Daily News tabloid-style paper). Their caption:
THE smiling lad ringed in our picture looks like he doesn't have a care in the world as he poses with 22 of his brothers and sisters.
But the 14-year-old is Osama bin Laden - and within a few years the grinning schoolboy was on his way to becoming the world's most cold-hearted mass murderer. The bin Laden children lined up next to a pink Chrysler Imperial for this snapshot on a trip to Falun, Sweden, in 1971.
The holiday was paid for by their father Mohammed, a billionaire building tycoon. Osama inherited a fortune when his dad died soon afterwards - and used it to build a worldwide network of terror.

His family disowned him in 1994. He also lost Saudi citizenship that year. My guess is, they don't keep in touch.
And, uhm... Second post!
