Defendant attacks on September 11th, responsible for attacks in U.S. embassies in Nairobi, chased to his supposed death by the U.S. government, that is how we know Osama Bin Laden, a man who defended his people stepping on others.
This is the reason why I chose this topic because most people know the terroristic side of Bin Laden and not looking beyond their attacks. In this essay I seek toconvey the life and death of a man not to excuse him of all the damage caused, but to understand his psychology and to know what was the led that made him create so much harm.

Osama Bin Laden was born in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia on March 10, 1957 into a rich Saudi Arabian family, he was the 17th of the 57 children of Mohammed Bin Laden, the owner of the largest construction company in Saudi Arabia. BinLaden was raised as a devout Wahhabi Muslim. From 1968 to 1976, he attended the elite secular Al-Thager Model School. He studied economics and business administration at King Abdulaziz University.
Until now we could see that his life had been working out like any other man, but from 1979 when Bin Laden began to give importance to his religion, and after leaving his career, he came into the armedmovement that fighting the military Russians in Afghanistan, this war had begun to bear the Islamic revolution in Iran and the Russian invasion.
In 1980, he began his recruitment of terrorist soldiers proafganos to establish their first camp. It is here where he created his own training camp and, with the help of his former college professor Abdullah Azzam, founded al-Qaeda, meaning "solidbase".
The goals of al-Qaeda included driving the United States out of the Middle East and overthrowing the government of Saudi Arabia.
When Iraqi dictator, Saddam Hussein invaded Kuwait in the summer of 1990 the United States and a coalition of allies that included Saudi Arabia responded with military force. For Bin Laden, the American use of Saudi bases to stage their entry into Kuwait amounted toan intolerable foreign occupation of the home of Islam's holiest sites. The Saudi government perceived bin Laden as a threat, and expelled him in 1991.
In 1992, Bin Laden moved to Sudan, a country in North Africa with an Islamist government. For the next four years, continued to develop the network of Al Qaeda and to train terrorist soldiers .
United States was aware of bin Laden by 1980s, butit was not until the bombing of the World Trade Center of Ramzi Yousef in 1993 that counterterrorism officials considered it a serious threat, when they apprehended to Yousef in a house belonging to Bin Laden in which they found documents that connected him with Al Qaeda.
"The walls of oppression and humiliation cannot be demolished except in a rain of bullets" that was what Bin Laden said in afatwas (Islamic religious pronouncements) as a response to the injustice after they noticed that United State had taken control over the religious and social Saudi Arabia.
In November 1995 a car bomb explodes near the communications center of the Saudi National Guard in central Riyadh, killing five American soldiers and two Indian police. It is not known if it was Bin Laden fully responsible forthis attack but it is certain that he gave support to these responsibles of the attack. In the explosion that destroyed a building at the military base in June 1996, 19 American soldiers were killed and 386 wounded, again at the hands of the terrorist. But it was not until August 1996 when Bin Laden marked a total war against the U.S. and it was thus also begins the strongest attacks from theterrorist.
Similar attacks occurred in August 1998 and in 2000 but there was a date that marked United States history and that was the harrowing event of September 11, 2001, in which two hijacked airliners U.S. crashed into the twin towers of the World Trade Center in New York city and a third hijacked plane crashed into the Pentagon outside Washington, killing more than 3,000 people.
