:21:01
with him around 1994.
:21:03
In fact things are much more
complicated than that.
:21:05
You mean Osama has had contact
:21:07
with other family members?
:21:08
That's right.
:21:09
In the summer of 2001
:21:10
just before 9/11 one of Osama's sons
:21:13
got married in Afghanistan
:21:15
and several family members
showed up at the wedding.
:21:17
Bin Ladens?
:21:18
That's right.
:21:19
They have not cut off completely;
:21:21
that's really an exaggeration.
:21:22
We now welcome to Larry King Live,
:21:24
it's good to see him again,
:21:25
Prince Bandar,
:21:26
the Ambassador of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia
:21:28
to the United States.
:21:29
We have about twenty-four members
:21:31
of bin Laden's family and uh...
:21:34
Here?
:21:34
In America.
:21:35
Students and his majesty felt
:21:37
it was not fair for those innocent people
:21:39
to be subjected to any harm.
:21:42
On the other hand,
:21:43
we understood had the high emotions.
:21:45
So in cooperation with the FBI, we got them out.
:21:48
This is retired FBI agent Jack Cloonan.
:21:51
Before 9/11 he was a senior agent
:21:54
on the joint FBI-CIA al Qaeda task force.
:21:58
I as an investigator would not want
:22:01
these people to have left...
:22:03
I think in the case of the Bin Laden family
:22:05
I think it would have been prudent,
:22:07
hand the subpoenas out,
:22:09
have 'em come in, get on the record.
:22:11
You know, get on the record.
:22:12
That's the proper procedure.
:22:13
Yeah...
:22:14
How many people were pulled off of the airlines
:22:16
after that coming into the country who were what,
:22:18
that were from the Middle East
:22:20
or they fit a very general picture.
:22:22
We held hundreds of,...
:22:23
We held hundreds and I...
:22:24
...weeks and months at a time.
:22:26
Did the authorities do anything
:22:28
when the bin Ladens tried to leave the country?
:22:29
No, they were identified at the airport,
:22:32
they looked at their passports,
:22:35
and they were identified.
:22:36
But that's what would happen to you or I if we were...
:22:37
Exactly. Exactly.
:22:38
"So a little interview,
:22:40
Nothing
:22:44
I don't know about you, but
:22:45
usually when the police
:22:48
can't find a murderer
:22:49
don't they usually want to
:22:51
talk to the family members
:22:52
to find out where they think he might be?
:22:56
You have no idea
:22:57
where your husband might be?
:22:58
Well if you hear anything let us know, will ya?
:22:59
You willing to come downtown
