 Osama Bin Ladin: Wealth plus Extremism equals Terrorism
At the end of May, 1998, ABC News' John Miller was granted an interview with Osama bin Ladin, millionaire, Islamic fundamentalist, and financier of international terrorism.
In order to further his religious "duties", bin Ladin founded the "International Islamic Front for Jihad against the Jews and the Crusaders." This year this organization published a "fatwa" (religious ruling) proclaiming the "Jihad against the heretics who conquer Muslim lands" a duty incumbent upon all believing Muslims.
The principal danger presented by the phenomenon of "sub-state" supporters of terror like bin Ladin is the combination of tremendous financial resources coupled with an extremist ideology backed, in his view, by heavenly decree; an ideology which advocates the wholesale slaughter of its perceived enemies, whether soldiers or civilians, children or adults.

Bin Ladin’s caustic verbal attack was expected in the light of the American strikes in Iraq of December 18-20, ’98.
Bin Ladin, who for a decade (1979-89) fought with the Afghan Mujehadin to oust the Soviet army from Afghanistan now turned his attention to ousting the Americans from the Gulf region, where they had stationed themselves in the wake of the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait.
These attacks were the catalyst for the launching of an offensive lead by the United States against bin Ladin and his cohorts, in the course of which, the U.S. attacked five camps belonging to el-Qa’idah in Afghanistan, and a factory for the manufacture of chemical weapons in Sudan (August 20).

 Usama bin Ladin
Bin Ladin was born in Djidda, Saudi Arabia in 1957.
He did in fact lack major status in the family compared to the likes of his older brother Salim, who was posed to be the heir to their father's empire, but it is unclear whether or not he was isolated from most of the family.
Now Bin Ladin was faced with a crisis as where to relocate himself and the bulk of his movement, and he decided on Afghanistan.

 Bin Ladin: The Man Who Would Be Mahdi - Middle East Quarterly - Spring 2002
However, if bin Ladin remains at large, it would not be out of character for him to launch another surprise attack—a religious coup, achieved by hijacking some of the most evocative titles in the Islamic lexicon.
Bin Ladin could attempt to legitimize his de facto role as leader of the anti-Western wing of Islam by attempting to revive the caliphate.
Bin Ladin would presumably find it difficult to make an acceptable caliphal claim for the very reason that he has no territorial base, and there are no respected Islamic jurists in his camp (again, at least not yet) to corroborate and legitimate any claim by him to the exalted office of caliph.

 Osama bin Ladin and the Egyptian Terrorist Groups
The proceedings came to be called the “trial of the Albanian returnees,” due to the fact that twenty of the accused were extradited from Albania in July of ‘98 in the wake of a foiled attack on an American installation in Tirana.
Yet another setback to bin Ladin was the public declaration of a unilateral cessation of terrorism against the Egyptian government by the exiled leaders of the Gama’a al-Islamiya, Egypt’s largest terrorist group.
This, together with the recent threats made by bin Ladin and his Egyptian colleagues, and the loss of prestige suffered by the Islamic Front, would seem to portend a concentrated effort on the part of bin Ladin's network to execute another round of attacks in the near future.

Usamah bin Ladin truncates some of the verses and passages that he cites, usually removing phrases that qualify or mitigate the application of the principle with which those verses are concerned.
Bin Ladin’s interest in the verse appears to stop here, as his charge against the Saud family is precisely that they perceive that they have the right to pronounce their own actions lawful.
According to bin Ladin, as Palestinian Mujahidin were attempting to retain the Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem, Ibn Saud offered to guarantee the safety of “the first Qiblah” promised by “his British masters” and to respond positively to the demands of the Mujahidin, freeing them from the need to fight.

 Usama bin Ladin and al-Qa’ida: Origins and Doctrines
From bin Ladin’s standpoint, these rejections occurred in reaction to his attempts to voice and apply the lessons that he had thought typified the proper practice of Islam, implying that the Saudi regime did not share this commitment and that American behavior was a key factor in this failure to fulfill Islam.
Bin Ladin attacked the regime’s religious behavior and accused it of reversing the principles of Sharia, "humiliating the Umma, and disobeying Allah."(30) Such an emphasis on the Saudi regime is not as clear in later interviews and in his second fatwa, issued in February of 1998.
It is also possible that bin Ladin wanted to sanction actions such as the embassy bombings in Kenya and Tanzania so as not to inhibit the planning of future attacks and to encourage attacks that had a greater chance for success due to their softer nature as civilian targets.

Usama bin Ladin gömmer sig med största sannolikhet någonstans i bergskedjan Hindukush, dit han flyttade för ett år sedan från staden Kandahar.
bin Ladin vet att han övervakas av amerikanska spionsatteliter och att alla hans rörelser kontrolleras av fienden.
Ett annat skäl till varför bin Ladin kan hålla sig gömd är att hans rörelse, al-Qaida, är enkelspårigt reaktionära.
