I'm just curious as to how they have the power to do this.
Unfortunatly, I have no news report to cite, just this twitter update from the BBC.

It was in a Mayfair bank account; it doesn't comprise all of his assets.

They may be UK citizens? I know that a large part of Bin Laden's family lives in Massachusetts.

No, they're definitely Libyian. His associates had their money seized as well.

It's just everywhere reporting it says "UK-held" assets.

Yes but he's impairing the protesters Human Rights, and they're sticklers for those kinds of atrocities.

Very true, but as of yet no one has been sent out there. Going too soon can hinder realations with the newly formed government once it is in place.

True, but the Western World has some valuable assets out there. Iraq Pt.3.
