The Bin Ladens

I'm currently reading The Bin Ladens by Steve Coll, author of the excellent Ghost Wars. Among the things I have read that I previously didn't know:

• Osama's mother was from Syria. Osama's father (born in Yemen) married her when she was around 14 and divorced her about 4 years later.
• Osama was one of, I believe, 54 children (his mother only had one child with his father, all of the rest of his siblings were half-brothers and sisters).
• His father was killed while flying in a small plane piloted by an American.

I'll post more interesting tid bits as I come across them.

Update: One more -- Osama married his cousin when she was 14 and he was 17. Ewwww.
