In an article about Osama bin Laden's plans to taunt the United States a second time, AFP informs us that he was "Born in Jeddah as the 12th son of construction magnet Mohammad bin Aaud Bin Laden."
You may now feel free to make all the obvious jokes yourself.
(Look quickly--the first page where I found it has already been corrected, so the updated AFP article will probably soon make it to the link above as well.)
the only typo I see is it should say construction magnate, but Forbes hasn't corrected it. what are you getting at?

Very, very little; I just found it funny to imagine bin Laden as the son of a construction magnet (not to mention the little league framing of "Bin Laden to taunt U.S. again"). Sometimes I'm easily amused.
