Bin Laden's mother denies her son involvement in September attacks
Regional, Local, 12/24/2001

Alya Ghanem, mother of Osama Bin Laden described the video tape which the US proves Bin Laden's prior knowledge of the September attacks as false.

The British " Mail on Sunday" quoted Ghanem as saying in an interview held with her with the Saudi journalists Khaled Batarfi ( chief editor of the Saudi daily al-Madina), who is also a friend to Bin Laden's family " I think the evidences existed against Osama are not authentic and the video tape they displayed is fabricated because the voice is not clear, nor organized and there are many stops."

Bin Laden's mother said that she is confident that her son is not responsible for the attacks of September 11 but she fears he will be killed before he will be able to clear his name.

She also indicated in the press interview that her son did not contact her since 6 years, so as not to be traced through the telephone.
