Osama Bin Laden
by Jake 21208
This man I am about to tell you managed to stay off the radar of the world’s
strongest country. This man is Osama Bin Laden. He was born in a wealthy family in
Saudi Arabia, and formed the terrorist group Al Qaeda after the Afghan war. Although
people still don’t know where he is, he may be alive. At first, he wasn’t a very famous
man, but after the twin towers collapsed, he became the most wanted person that the
American government wants.
Osama Bin Laden was born in a wealthy family that owns a global construction
and equity
management company called the Saudi Binladin Group, which makes
about five billion dollars each year. So he had about two hundred and fifty million
dollars when he formed Al Qaeda in 1988. He also has about thirty to three hundred
million dollars of his inheritance.
He formed the terrorist group Al Qaeda with more than three thousand followers
after the Afghan War. Most of the followers were veterans of the Afghan War, and
some are fighting around the world. These followers went to fight in Bosnia, Somalia,
the Philippines and other countries to help rebels fight their governments.
Few people know where Bin Laden is, but there are several clues that may prove
he is still alive. He has released a few tapes and speeches recently after 911, the last
one released this year. The American government believes that Osama Bin Laden is
hiding in the mountainous region of Tora Bora, but they still don’t know the exact
place of him, so they can’t capture this man.
After 911, Osama Bin Laden became America’s most wanted person. He still
isn’t caught and is hiding in mountainous areas. He had lots of money to maintain the
terrorist group because he was born in a wealthy family. If we do not catch or kill this
mad man, he will keep on telling people to fly planes into important buildings around
the world or support rebels around the world to create disorder in their countries.
