“El hijo de Bin Laden visita Asturias en busca de socios para su empresa. “Este país me recuerda a mi infancia en Afganistán””
SNIPPET: “Tiene 32 años, y está preparando su ‘independencia’ del Saudí Bin Laden Group, la empresa que fundó su abuelo y que ha convertido a la familia en la segunda más rica y respetada de toda Arabia Saudí.
Entre sus planes está la creación de un macroproyecto industrial y empresarial en el emirato de Qatar. Y para ello está buscando socios en España. Concretamente en Asturias, donde ha pasado unos días.
En su estancia ha vistado algunas de las factorías que poséen las firmas con las que está entablando contactos. Una de las visitas tuvo lugar en el municipio de Pola de Lena,”

“Osama bin Laden’s Son Looks to Help Qatar Stage 2022 FIFA World Cup”
by Marcus Kwesi O’Mard on Thu, Jun 14, 2012 at 4:23PM
SNIPPET: “Omar bin Laden, son of slain terrorist Osama bin Laden, is an active participant in the family business. No, not that business.
The bin Laden family made its fortune in construction, and Omar is involved in a number of projects around the Middle East. In 2010, he founded the Qatar Bin Laden Group, which is bidding on contracts for projects related to the 2022 FIFA World Cup, Reuters reports.
The Qatari construction company has formed a joint venture with Spanish firm Coprosa. It hopes to become the Qatari government’s contractor of choice, as the country prepares to host the World Cup in ten years’ time.

SNIPPET: “Qatar Bin Laden Group will hold 51 percent of the new company, BC Group - to be based in Doha - and Coprosa 49 percent, chief executive Omar bin Laden told Reuters in an interview on Wednesday.
Qatar Bin Laden Group was founded two years ago by Omar bin Laden, son of Osama bin Laden.
“We want to be involved in the Doha Metro and other high-speed rail projects in Qatar, as well as hydraulics and water treatment plants. Coprosa has particular experience with high-speed rail projects, and we want to make use of that. We hope to be submitting proposals by the end of June,” bin Laden said.
“There is a limited timeframe for projects in Qatar. It’s all happening in the next 10 years, and we want to be involved as much as we can.”
The Doha Metro project will include four rail lines and link stadiums for the 2022 World Cup which Qatar will host, with an underground component in the centre of the Qatari capital.
It is expected to employ more than 20,000 workers during the peak of construction.”
