Who is Osama bin Laden?
Bin Laden is the son
of a Saudi construction mogul who left an estate worth some $5
billion to his many sons. As a young man, Bin Laden used family
know-how and machines to blaze roads through Afghanistan during
the Afghan-Soviet war and later through Sudan. However he no
longer holds a managing stake in the family business. He has
not lived in Saudi Arabia since 1979, when he left for the Afghan
war. In 1994, his citizenship was revoked for agitating against
the Saudi government as too moderate and too accommodating to
the United States. Bin Laden has three wives, a pack of sons,
and anywhere from eight to 52 brothers. His brothers still hobnob
with Saudi royalty, but Bin Laden is estranged from them. |
