Oussama bin Laden

Oussama bin Laden was a notorious terrorist leader and the founder of the militant organization al-Qaeda, known for orchestrating the September 11 attacks in the United States in 2001. He was born in Saudi Arabia to a wealthy family and became a prominent figure in the jihadist movement during the 1980s, particularly in the context of the Soviet-Afghan War. After years of evasion, he was located and killed by U.S. Navy SEALs in Pakistan in 2011, an event that significantly impacted global counter-terrorism efforts.
