Osama bin Laden | Vibepedia

Osama bin Laden founded al-Qaeda in 1988, transforming from a wealthy Saudi into the world's most wanted terrorist after masterminding the September 11 attacks. His radicalization during the Soviet-Afghan War led to fatwas against the United States and alliances with figures like Ayman al-Zawahiri. Killed in a U.S. raid in Abbottabad, Pakistan, in 2011, his legacy fueled endless counterterrorism wars.
