 * A well-known terrorist**

It is hard to find out who's behind the different terrorist attacks, but the police often got suspects. One of the most famous terrorists, or alleged masterminds behind the different terrorist attacks is Osama Bin Laden.

Osama Bin Laden is the leader of the Sunni-Muslims organization Al-Qaeda. Bin Laden is the alleged perpretrator behind the 9/11-attacks in 2001, that destroyed and damaged the World Trade Center and the Pentagon.

Osama Bin Laden's family
Osama Bin Laden was born in Saudi-Arabia, with a mother from Syria and a father from Yemen. Mohammed Bin Laden, his father, founded a big company, which made him become a billionaire. Mohammed had many wifes, and he got about 50 children. According to different reports, he was either the 17th son or the 25th son of Mohammed Bin Laden.

Bin Laden studied economics and management, where he met teachers who gave him a wider perspective on Islamic politics.

Wanted: Dead or alive
After the 9/11-attacks, the U.S. gave the Taliban-ruled Afghanistan an ultimatium, which was to turn over bin Laden. Osama was believed to have fled over the mountainous region of Tora Bora, and the U.S's bombing campaign failed to take him down.

Since the attacks, Osama Bin Laden has released several tapes, broadcasted on the Al Jazeera network. His most recent tape was to France, saying France should get their troops out of Afghanistan and stop forbidding burqa for the women in France. France is now on alert for terror-attacks, and Osama has also stated that "America will not live in peace". Each person in the world wonder where on the earth Osama Bin Ladin is, but no one has any idea. The FBI has placed a 25$ million bounty upon his head, which makes him one of the most wanted people in the world.
