Usamah Bin Mohammad Bin Laden (1957- )
After the initial shock of the attacks on New York and Washington, D.C., and mingled with my tears and prayers for the victims of those tragedies and their loved ones, my thoughts turned to the people who perpetrated those atrocities–and to the one who allegedly is behind them, if not in planning, then in financing. What made him into the kind of person he is? And, because this is one of my "things," I began to wonder about his childhood. Although there is very little available about his childhood, I have gathered together all I could find for this article. This man is protected by the Afghanistan government. I thought the following site would give you some insight into what kind of government would protect that kind of man. http://www.echonyc.com/~onissues/su98goodwin.html Buried Alive: Afghan Women Under the Taliban
