He did most of his work under the name of religion and there are many people in the Arab World who consider him as a role model. There was a bounty of 25 million US dollars placed on him by the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Here in this very article, we have gathered life facts of Osama. Take a look.

Family & Childhood
Osama was born on 10th March 1957 in a wealthy family in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Osama means “Young Lion” in Arabic. Although Osama Bin Laden spent his childhood in a huge mansion, his initial days were very tough. His father Mohammed Bin Awad Bin Laden was a very rich businessman in Saudi Arabia and had ten wives. Osama Bin Laden’s mother Hamida al-Attas was his tenth wife and he married her when he visited Syria for some business purpose. She was from Syria, while all other wives of Mohammad Bin Laden were from Saudi Arabia. This was the reason she was discriminated. He spent his childhood like a loner. Within the Bin Laden’s family, his mother was known as “the slave” and Osama was known as “the slave child.” Some people believe that the sense of insurrection began within him due to all these incidents within his family.

Personal Life

According to the FBI who released his description, Bin Laden was 6 feet 5 inches tall. He had an olive complexion. He wore a white turban regularly and had an unkempt beard. Osama was a left-handed person. In the year 1974 when Osama was just seventeen years old, he married Najwa Ghanem in Syria. However, both got separated later on. He married five times in his whole life. His other wives were Khadijah Sharif (married in the year 1983), Khairiah Sabar (married in the year 1985), Siham Sabar (married in the year 1987) and finally Amal al-Sadha (married in the year 2000). He was the father of about twenty-four children. Most of them now live in Iran.After passing out from the college in the year 1979, Osama joined the forces in Pakistan who were working under the guidance of the Pakistan’s ISI against the Soviet Union’s invasion of the Democratic Republic of Afghanistan. There he impressed authorities with his calibre. While working with them he made several contacts with the high-profile people in Pakistan’s Army and ISI. He used his family fortune in financing the members of the Mujahedeen. In the year 1984, he along with Abdullah Azzam founded the Maktab al-Khidamat whose prime goal was to supply all necessary things such as arms and ammunition to Mujahideen who were fighting against the Soviet Union. With his enormous wealth, he established many training camps where militants were trained.

Osama left the Maktab al-Khidamat in the year 1988 as he wanted to play a major role in the military operations. He therefore formed the group named as al-Qaeda with his friends in Egypt. For any person to be a member of this group it was required that he should be obedient and should pledge to work as per his superior’s orders. When the Soviet Union finally left Afghanistan in the year 1989, Osama returned as a war hero to Saudi Arabia. He got huge respect and his role in overthrowing the mighty Soviet Union people from Afghanistan was praised everywhere in Muslim Countries.

Declared Holy War against the United States
Osama Bin Laden was very much unhappy with the growing influence of the United States in the Middle East. He felt that the policies of the US government were the prime reason of the unhappiness of the people living in the Middle East region. His first attack against the Americans was in the year 1992 when he attacked a hotel in Yemen. The attack was made to kill the members of the US Army who were on their way to Somalia. His biggest attack on the United States soil was when the World Trade Centre and the Pentagon Tower was attacked by the al-Qaeda on 11thSeptember 2001. To complete this mission, the al-Qaeda militants hijacked four passenger aircraft. The World Trade Centre in New York City was completely destroyed.

Death Time

Finally on 2nd May 2011, Osama was shot by the Navy Seals of US Marines in the military operation of the United States in Abbottabad, Pakistan. This operation was code-named as Operation Neptune Spear. The team raided his compound which was located in the Abbottabad. He was living there with his wife and children. He died immediately when he was shot. Osama’s body was airlifted from his residence and was taken to Afghanistan by the Navy Seals. After going through various confirmation tests, he was buried at sea quickly to avoid any kind of attempt made by the al-Qaeda for his dead body. The Central Intelligence Agency of the United States worked tirelessly day and night for so many years to know about his whereabouts and played a major role in the elimination of this dangerous militant who was a threat to the humanity.
