Osama - A brief history

Yet another tape from Osama-bin-Laden stating that West is against the Islams and asked his followers to go to Sudan to fight a proposed UN force. This has become routine since America's war against terror in Afganistan, but still have to find this man who says messiah of islam. Who is this man? What is his background? So many questions......

Lets see who this man is and his life history....

• Born in Saudi Arabia to a Yemeni family.
• Left Saudi in 1979 to fight against invasion of Soviet in Afganistan.
  
• Ploughed inherited fortune into armed activities.
• Rarely seen in public.
• Reported to have at least three wives.
• Aged 49.
• Head of the terrorist group Al Qaeda.
  

Is he a hero or Villain???

Wanted by the CIA for his alleged connections in thew 1998 bombings of American embassies in Africa and on many other international criminal charges.

However he is a hero to many young people in Arab for his fight against discrimination of Islams by the west.

Some of his criminal charges are:

• 1993 World Trade Center bombings.
• 1996 killing of US soldiers in Arab.
• Nairobi and Dar es Salaam Bombs.
• 2000 attack on USS cole in Yemen.
• 9/11 attack on World Trade Center.
• Bombings in Madrid killing as many as 250 people.

From where does he get money to buy arms????

His power is funded on a personal fortune earned by his family's construction business in Saudi Arabia.

The Afghan jihad was backed with American dollars and had the blessing of the governments of Saudi Arabia and Pakistan.

He received security training from the CIA itself, according to Middle Eastern analyst Hazhir Teimourian.

While in Afghanistan, he founded the Maktab al-Khidimat (MAK), which recruited fighters from around the world and imported equipment to aid the Afghan resistance against the Soviet army. Egyptians, Lebanese, Turks and others - numbering thousands in Bin Laden's estimate - joined their Afghan Muslim brothers in the struggle against an ideology that spurned religion.
