Osama's loyal sons to get disinheritance Updated on 2001-10-08 16:26:27 JEDDAH, October 08 (PNS): Even as the US and its allies gear up to attack Osama bin Laden and his al-Qaeda terrorist network, the Saudi dissident's family is preparing to disinherit any of his children who remain loyal to him in Afghanistan, media reports said on Sunday. Bin Laden has been living in Afghanistan since 1996 with 10 of his children, including ten-year old son, Ali. However, five of his children, including his eldest son Abdullah, 22, live a life of luxury in Saudi Arabia, where they are looked after by their mother. The report estimated the value of Osama's shares in the family construction firm at between 60 million dollars and 300 million dollars - a potential inheritance of up to 60 million dollars for each of the five children. The assets have been frozen since 1994. The split in Osama's family followed a decision by his first wife to leave him, while he was in Sudan, and return to Saudi Arabia with their five children, the report said. End.

Pakistan raises Kashmir issue at UN; report indicates US not listening SADA News Wednesday, October 03, 2001 1:46:53 PM EST NEW DELHI: Despite assurances that it would not raise the Kashmir issue at the international fora, Pakistan Tuesday told the United Nations General Assembly that people in the militancy-hit, Indian-administered state were still deprived of "their fundamental right to self-determination." But another report indicated that Washington was not listening. Pakistani ambassador Shamshad Ahmed raised the Kashmir issue during a discussion on combating terrorism, saying: "There are people who even today remain deprived of their fundamental right to self-determination. The Security Council resolution pertaining to their destiny and future remains unimplemented in the archives of this organization." "It is time for courageous decisions for correcting historic wrongs and for redressing endemic injustices," he said. He said a "just, lasting and honorable" settlement of the Palestine and Kashmir disputes would help bring peace and stability to the world. But television reports from Washington said the United States has agreed to address India's problem with terrorism supported by Pakistan. The reports said this was conveyed to External Affairs Minister Jaswant Singh during his meetings with Secretary of State Colin Powell and Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld Tuesday. Secretary of State Powell described Monday's attack on the Kashmir legislature as "clearly an act of terror". "The events that took place in Kashmir yesterday (Monday), that terrible terrorist act, that heinous act that killed innocent civilians and also struck at a government facility...It is this kind of terrorism that we are united against," Powell said. "And as the president made it clear...we are going after terrorism in a comprehensive way, not just in the present instance of Al-Qaeda and Osama bin Laden, but terrorism as it affects nations around the world, to include the kind of terrorism that affects India," he added. Without naming Pakistan, Rumsfeld, however, said that "terrorists are...operating in countries because countries are tolerating that and if we are to ensure the way of life of free systems such as in our country and in India, the only choice we have is to take the battle to them."
