OBL's "scores of wealthy brothers"

I first excised, and then restored the phrase "scores of" from a description of OBL's brother. The article on his father

Mohammed bin Awad bin Laden

says OBL had 53 siblings. Forty of the 53 would have to be male for him to have "scores" of brothers. But when I removed this claim which didn't seem credible to me I didn't notice it seemed to be a quote. If it is a quote, which can be referenced, it doesn't matter that it is not credible.

On the credibility question -- were all OBL's siblings wealthy? Did they all inherit a share of dad's estate sufficient to all them "wealthy"? OBL founded al Qaeda over 20 years after his father's death. How many of his siblings remained wealthy after more than 20 years? Geo Swan (talk) 15:30, 9 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Problematic article, barely any sources

This page is highly problematic.

The information in this article is largely unsourced
The 5 sources in the References are mostly meaningless
For example "Wall Street Journal, 3/18/2003" does not tell us much. No link, no title of the article, no author

I welcome any help to add reliable sources. Alternatively we might have to delete the article.
