The bin Laden family hearts General Electric

No kidding.

Now an international conglomerate, the family business has 50,000 employees worldwide and annual revenues estimated at $5-billion. Its enterprises include construction, engineering, telecommunications, book publishing and manufacturing that ranges from motor vehicle parts to crystal chandeliers. Its business partners include General Electric, Nortel, Snapple beverages, Motorola and CitiBank. The conglomerate had a corporate office in Rockville, Md., that was dissolved last year, and several family members own homes in the United States. One of them, Khalil bin Laden, has a 20-acre vacation estate in Winter Garden.

You know GE. They bring good things to life and war to Iraq. General Electric hearts Carlyle, too, cause they've both made lots of money fighting these evil terra'sts.

Thanks to Alice for the heads up.
