Multiple members of the 9/11 mastermind's family were said to have been killed in a series of plane crashes.
It's been 13 years since Al-Qaeda founder and 9/11 mastermind Osama bin Laden was killed by U.S. Navy Seals in a compound in northern Pakistan.The mass murderer, whose actions led to the deaths of nearly 3,000 people in the 2001 attacks on the World Trade Center in New York and the Pentagon, spent nearly 10 years on the FBI's Most Wanted Terrorists list before he was tracked down and killed on May 2, 2011.
His half brother Salem died, at 42, in what was described by bin Laden biographer Steve Coll as a 'freak ultralight accident' outside San Antonio in May 1988. Salem, who was the family's eldest member at the time of his father's death in 1967, took control of the family businesses after Mohammed died.The ultralight sport aircraft he was in flew directly into power lines, titled forward and crashed into the ground, according to a report by the website My San Antonio.
