A Thread on Osama Bin Laden:
Osama bin Mohammed bin Awad bin Laden, also rendered Usama bin Ladin, was a founder of the pan-Islamic militant organization al-Qaeda.
ObL was born on March 10th, 1957 in Ryadh, Saudi Arabia and killed on May 2nd, 2011 by a United States military special operations unit.
He was a Saudi Arabian citizen until 1994 and a member of the wealthy bin Laden family. Bin Laden's father was Mohammed bin Awad bin Laden, a Saudi millionaire from Hadhramaut, Yemen, and the founder of the construction company, Saudi Binladin Group.
His mother, Alia Ghanem, was from a secular middle-class family in Latakia, Syria.
In 1988, he formed al-Qaeda. He was banished from Saudi Arabia in 1992, and shifted his base to Sudan, until U.S. pressure forced him to leave Sudan in 1996.
After establishing a new base in Afghanistan, he declared a war against the United States, initiating a series of bombings and related attacks
Bin Laden is most well known for his role in masterminding the September 11 attacks, which resulted in the deaths of nearly 3,000 and prompted the United States to initiate the War on Terror. He subsequently became the subject of a decade-long international manhunt.
From 2001 to 2011, bin Laden was a major target of the United States, as the FBI offered a $25 million bounty in their search for him.
On May 2, 2011, bin Laden was shit and killed by US Navy SEALs inside a private residential compund in Abbottbad, Pakistan, where he lived with a local family from Waziristan.
