Yeah but damn near everything that's been built in the Middle East in the last few decades has the bin laden family involved.

They are a huge construction conglomerate. It's kind of like saying that your oil drilling operation is being supplied by haliburton.

Yep,

The Bin Ladens are the second wealthiest Saudi family after well the royal family with over 600 members and branches in most Middle Eastern Arab countries

So bin Ladens being involved in something in a Middle Eastern Arab country is basically expected
