Osama denounced by family DUBAI THE FAMILY of the world’s most wanted man, Saudi dissident Osama bin Laden, denounced their notorious son Saturday and offered their condolences to the victims of the terror attacks in the United States. In a telephone interview from Jiddah, the head of the millionaire bin Laden family, Sheik Abdullah Awad Aboud bin Laden, expressed deep sorrow over Tuesday’s attacks and the suffering caused. ``The family has previously announced its position (to distance itself) from Osama and condemned his acts. All the family members condemn all violent and terrorist acts, even if Osama is behind them,’’ said Sheik Abdullah, who is the uncle of Osama. The United States has said Osama bin Laden is a prime suspect in its investigation of the hijacking of four planes, the destruction of the World Trade Center and the attack on the Pentagon on Tuesday. A US federal court has indicted Osama for masterminding the August 1998 bombings of US embassies in Kenya and Tanzania, in which 231 people were killed, including 12 Americans. In 1994, the bin Laden family issued a statement expressing its ``regret, denunciation and condemnation of all acts that Osama bin Laden may have committed, which we do not condone and we reject.’’ Since 1996, Osama bin Laden has lived in Afghanistan, which has rejected demands to extradite him for trial. He has been linked to numerous terror operations and is thought to have followers in many countries. (AP) economictimes.com Muslims laud PM’s views on terrorism Kavita Bajeli-Datt NEW DELHI PRIME Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee has come in for praise from Muslim leaders for asking Indians to draw a clear-cut distinction between Islam and terrorists pretending to act on behalf of the religion. Community leaders and clerics say Vajpayee’s comments in his nationwide speech Friday were timely, coming as it did amid growing attacks on Muslims and Arabs in the US and elsewhere following Tuesday’s terror bombings. They also condemned Tuesday’s terror attacks in New York and Washington that killed thousands but said all Muslims should not be vilified just because the hijackers who smashed planes into landmark buildings were believed to be from the community. The US says those who hijacked civilian planes and smashed them into the World Trade Centre in New York and the Pentagon were probably linked to Saudi renegade Osama bin Laden who lives in Afghanistan.
