 | | Osama bin Laden was born on March 10, 1957 in Riyadh, the capital of Saudi Arabia, to Alia Ghanem, who was born in Syria, and Muhammad bin Laden, who was born in Yemen but immigrated to Jedda, Saudi Arabia, when he was a child. |
 | | Faisal bin Abdul Aziz (who became King of Saudi Arabia in 1964) created this particular school in the early 1950s to demonstrate his interest in western science and methods of education. |
 | | Indeed, King Faisal welcomed many members of the Muslim Brotherhood, exiled from their native countries, such as Syria and Egypt, to Saudi Arabia because “he believed that they had been unfairly persecuted for their religious and political beliefs” and he also badly needed teachers. |
