Osama bin Laden
Osama bin Laden, a wealthy Saudi exile, is believed to be responsible for the September 11 terrorist attacks on the United States, in which more than 3,000 people were killed. Fiercely opposed to U.S. influence in the Islamic world, bin Laden also allegedly financed and directed several earlier, smaller terrorist attacks on U.S. interests from his base in Afghanistan.
