Bakr bin Laden
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bakr bin Laden is the chairman of the Jeddah-based Saudi Binladin Group, and a half-brother of FBI Most Wanted Terrorist Osama Bin Laden.
A major power broker in the Saudi business capital, Bakr tends to keep a low profile: "We have a mayor and all kinds of political heavyweights. But the truly ruler of Jeddah is Bakr bin Laden," says an informer for a recent piece in Der Spiegel who agreed to speak only under condition of anonymity. "But Bakr is never seen in public, and when he does occasionally go to the Intercontinental Hotel for dinner -- usually with Osama's son Abdullah[1]-- he has the entire restaurant closed."[2]
