A video i made on November 8, 2021. In this discussion i speak about the biogra[hy of one of the world's most notorious "villain's" in world history, Osama Bin Laden. Born to the Saudi Kingdom's leading construction magnate, Muhammad bin Awad Bin Laden of the Saudi BinLaden Group. He studied at King Abdulaziz university in until 1979, when he joined Mujahideen forces in Pakistan fighting against the Soviet Union in Afghanistan. His father would die in a plane crash in 67 leaving him one of the heirs to the company. The Bin Laden family made $5 billion in the construction industry, of which Osama later inherited around $25–30 million. By 1980 however, Bin Laden would find himself a newfound life in the Afghanistan war against the Soviets, where he would donate his late fathers construction vehicles to build ditches and roads for the Mujahedeen. He would become famous overnight. After becoming involved with a recruitment office, pitched by his spiritual mentor, Abdullah Azzam, he became even more revered. By 1986, Egyptian militants began entering Peshawar, Pakistan and suddenly became involved with Bin Laden and would manipulate his thinking. These people would late be the influence to create an orgaznaition that would be used to conduct terrorist operations against another enemy, the United States and the West.

Ayman al-Zawahiri, Sayyid Imam al-Sharif and Abu Hafs al-Masri (Mohammed Atef) would be known as "Takfiri" Muslims. Those who label other Muslims not of the Wahhabi faith as "apostates". By 1992, Bin Laden along with his Egyptian associates would relocate tp the Sudan. The origination that would grow in time was Al Qaeda. By 1996, the group would begin making themselves known by conducting terrorist plots on US targets, but on September 11th 2001, those operations came to the doorsteps of the United States. By then the world would suddenly know who Osama Bin Laden is. But who is he really?
