Is it true that Osama Bin Ladens family was flown out @ 911?

Question

A friend told me that Osama Bin Laden's family was flown out of the US right after the 911 attack - directly from the president's house!!!! is this true? anyone know why?

Answer 1

Yes they were flown out about 8 days after 9-11. The plane was a charter flight paid for by either the saudi royal family or the bin laden family. Nobody knows for sure.

I don't put much stock in government conspiracies, but this does look shady.

Answer 2

Yes it is true the Bin laden family was flown out of USA by authorization from the president. Watch Fahrenheit 9/11

Answer 3

When air travel was permitted again, on September 13, there were several chartered flights that went to Saudi Arabia. The bin Laden flight left on September 20 with 26 members of his family. They were supposedly screened by the FBI.

As much as I like Michael Moore, I think he was off on this one.

Answer 4

I havent heard that it was from the presidents house,and that isnt the case.

from the snopes link air traffic was grounded as most know from 9/11-9/13. from the 14th through the 24th 160 middle eastern people left the USA on flights. on 9/20 it appears from baltimore a flight of 26 people some of who were Bin Laden's relatives left and 22 of them were interviewed by the FBI first.

So its not like they were whisked away it was after normal flights had resumed and it wasnt as many stories describe it.

Answer 5

yes it's true. There were alot of Bin Ladens here in the U.S at the time but since they were world leaders they were forced to let them go they couldn't "keep them"

very few people know about this

Answer 6

The US government (Bush) flew them home using tax payers dollars. The reason was to "protect" them. One of his nieces is still here trying to become a "movie star". She doesn't use her real name and I can't remember her alias so I can't check on how she is doing.
