Bin Laden, Osama
Bin Laden, Osama (1957– ) Leader and founder of the
AL-QAIDA terrorist network. Born in Saudi Arabia, he inherited a fortune from his father's construction business, which he has used to further his militant Islamic politics. In the late 1980s his guerrilla organization helped to thwart the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, making him a hero to many Muslims. His followers then carried out a series of attacks on overseas US targets (from 1992). However, it was the terrorist outrage of
SEPTEMBER 11, 2001 that brought him worldwide notoriety and made him the prime target of the USA's
WAR ON TERRORISM. Although he is thought to have survived the US attack on al-Qaida's command centre in Afghanistan, his present whereabouts are unknown.
