From 911Encyclopedia:
One of Usama bin Laden's half brothers, who forced the book Forbidden Truth to be banned in Switzerland, as his lawyer, Jurg Brand, said in October 2002. Binladin is claiming 20 million Swiss francs ($23.73 million) in damages for defamation from the co-authors, Jean-Charles Brisard and Guillaume Dasquie (->), and the publishers of the book, Guy Birenbaum and Olivier Rubinstein of Denoel publishing house. He claims the book falsely says, he "was closely linked to the man blamed by the United States for the September 11 attacks" on New York and Washington. The German translation of the book, which was due to be published in Switzerland, has been banned at the end of 2002. Binladin has lived in Switzerland for about 20 years and has held a Swiss passport since 2001. Source: http://www.news.com.au/common/story_page/0,4057,3514962%5E15574,00.html
