Like Father, Like Son

Nothing makes a father more proud than when one or more of his offspring chooses to make a living traveling down the same path as he. In the Arab world that means going into the family business not as a rugmaker, a carpenter, plumber, banker etc etc.

No, that means strapping on a suicide belt, mounting the nearest camel and leaving the cave to become A TERRORIST. What a proud dad Osama must be this morning that his son will be following in his footsteps. What would we do without the great contributions to mankind delivered to us by the arab world?

OSAMA'S EVIL SPAWN IN LEB By HASANI GITTENS -: "August 3, 2006 -- A son of Osama bin Laden has gone from Iran to Lebanon with the mission to organize terror attacks against Israel, it was reported yesterday.

Saad bin Laden, 27, one of the terror mastermind's eldest sons, was released by the Iranian Revolutionary Guard last Friday, according to the German daily Die Welt.

'From the Lebanese border, he has the task of building Islamist terror cells and preparing them to fight with Hezbollah,' the paper said, quoting intelligence sources."

"Apparently, Tehran is counting on recruiting Lebanese refugees in Syria for the fight against Israel, using bin Laden's help," it added.

The young bin Laden was supposedly under house arrest in Iran.

In 2004, Iranian former foreign minister Kamal Kharrazi said the country had jailed about a dozen al Qaeda suspects and would put them on trial. Among them were bin Laden and Saif al-Adel, the terror network's security chief.

Up until this latest move, intelligence officials believed that Saad, who speaks fluent English, was part of a small cadre running al Qaeda from Iran. continued
