ABSTRACT
The article discusses the chronology of events in the life of Osama bin Laden, the chief of the terrorist group Al Qaeda. He was born in 1957 in Saudi Arabia. In the early 1980s, bin Laden left his Saudi home for Afghanistan to take part in the war between Islamic rebels and the Soviet-installed government there. After the rebel Afghans forced the Soviets out of Afghanistan in 1989, bin Laden returned to Saudi Arabia. In 1996, bin Laden left Sudan for Afghanistan, where he lived under the protection of the Taliban, the radical Islamic group that then controlled most of Afghanistan. Bin Laden believes that the United States and its allies are anti-Muslim.
