Osama bin Laden’s hatred towards the United States drove him to do horrifying and unreasonable things. This is one example of why I believe mankind in inherently evil.
“The human world, it’s a mess..” (Sebastian) This quote said by Sebastian the crab from the movie The Little Mermaid. And the reason I chose to open up this essay with it is because it’s true. The human world is corrupted and full of sin, lust, pride, selfishness, hatred, jealousy, arrogance, rudeness, and so many other evil things.
There are many people I can use as an example to support my argument. But Osama bin Laden stood out to me the most. Not only did he kill thousands of people, he planned the whole entire thing out, to every detail. He also didn’t feel remorse for

This small group he originally started had begun to expand. In 1998, Osama led attacks in Kenya and Tanzania. These bombings are known today as the Embassy Bombings. This was what caught the attention of the American population. After noticing Osama’s group as a threat President Clinton ordered retaliation missiles against Afghanistan. (Bodansky)
When you say Osama bin laden people immediately associate the name with the 9/11 attacks. This man was responsible for it. On September 11, 2001 nineteen hijackers took over four flights. Their targets were The World Trade Center in New York City and The Pentagon near Washington, D.C.
At around 8:45am the first plane hit the North Tower. Killing about 1,400 people. When people saw this they immediately thought it was just a mistake. Then at 9:03am the second plane crashes into the South Tower. As soon as this happened people began to understand that this was no accident. At 9:37am Flight 77 crashes into the Pentagon. It is safe to say that these attacks caused mass chaos. Approximately 2,606 people were killed in the Tower attacks and all 64 passengers and 125 employees were killed in the Pentagon attack.
According to bin Laden, “The reason for killing Americans was because of the ‘jihad’, which means religious war. Bin laden stated, the U.S as the “worst civilization by history of mankind.” He went on to
Osama Bin Laden was the most wanted man in the world, after the attacks of September 11. On September 11 2001 two planes crashed in to the Twin Tower, another plane crashed in to the pentagon, and another crashed into a field on rout to the nation’s capital, killing three thousand people mainly civilians. (Benson) Hours after the attacks the CIA and FBI stared a search to find who was responsible for the attack; with in the day they found that the terrorism group al-Qaeda was the brains behind the operation. With extensive research American FBI came to the understanding that Osama Bin Laden was the leader of an anti-American terrorism group al-Qaeda group and ordered for the attack. (Benson) After the Bush declared to war on terror (the war to end terrorism) in September 2001 he appointed the CIA and FBI to start the search for Bin Laden, the search started October 2001. (Benson) Shortly after Obama was elected in to office in 2008 he made finding Bin Laden the top of the priority list (Obama). The search for al-Qaeda leader Osama Bin Laden took ten years after extensive CIA research and the brave efforts of seal team six.
A month after the terrorist attack in the US, a war was launched by the United States. This war was known as the “fight back” war. It was the beginning of George Bush administration’s war on terrorism. The main theme of this war was to stop terrorism and catch Osama Bin Laden. He was the main person who planned this evil attack on September 11, 2001. Bin Laden’s trained groups that were
Al Qaeda has taken responsibility for numerous attacks and attempts, including an attack that made Osama bin Laden very well known to many people in the United States. That attack occurred on September 11, 2001. Three planes were hijacked and the hijackers flew the planes into the United States territory, destroying the
On May 2nd, 2011, the people of the United States awoke to some of the best news they would hear for many years to come; Osama bin Laden had been killed. President Barack Obama delivered the message at 7:30AM and the country was buzzing about it for weeks after. Osama bin Laden was a name that every American man, woman, and child knew. On 9-11-01, four planes were hijacked by terrorists and crashed into strategic locations to sow chaos, confusion, death, and destruction into the American people. 2,977 innocent Americans died on that fateful day, and the man who decided they should die and be subject to terror was Osama bin Laden. Since that fateful day, America has donated massive amounts of time and money to find Osama, and bring him to justice. However, time and time again he evaded capture and kept us chasing him.
9/11 was a series of coordinated terror attacks. The 9/11 attacks can be traced back to when the Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan. Osama bin Laden, went to Afghanistan to help the Arabs by helping to organise a mujanideen to resist the Soviets. By the guidance of an Islamic Extremist, Ayman
Osama Bin Laden changed the world on September 11, 2012, when he orchestrated the 9/11 bombings on the World Trade Center in New York City. He has also formulated many other attacks including the October 2000 attack on the USS Cole, and attacks on the US embassies in Nairobi, Kenya, and Dar es Salaam, Tanzania in 1998 (Encyclopedia of World 1). Osama Bin Laden had a negative influence on societies, economies, and religion throughout the world because of his actions in masterminding many radical terrorist attacks, and because he created and funded al-Qaeda.
The example of Bin Laden and the act done by him would be best described as the 9/11 attack.
It’s not just the terrorist attacks that slaughtered oh so many innocent people who makes Osama Bin Laden so bad,
Bin Laden was on the FBI’s most wanted list for 10 years until the SEAL aided by the CIA captured him on May 2, 2011 in Abbottabad . Osama was one of the main founders of the terrorist group Al-Qaeda that targeted not only American citizens, but also anyone who stood in the way of what their beliefs were and what they thought to be their mission on Earth. Al-Qaeda was formed in 1988. Bin Laden formed the Al-Qaeda network whose job was to carry out global strikes against Western interests (Osama Bin Laden Biography). He is believed to have orchestrated at least a dozen attacks, some were successful,while others ,were not. Among the worst of these were two truck bombings, in which more than 200 people were killed , both happened on August 7, 1998, of U.S. embassies in Nairobi, Kenya, and Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania (Osama Bin
He created a secret network of militant Muslims and their goal was to take up the jihadist cause around the world, righting perceived wrongs under the accordance of pure, Islamic law. Osama had a goal of drawing the United States into war and his hope was that Muslims, unified by battle, would create a single, true Islamic state. While Osama took refuge in Afghanistan and received protection from the Taliban militia, he issued many religious statements declaring a holy war against the United States. The biggest attack Osama had successfully executed was on September 11, 2001, where a small group of Osama's Al Qaeda Jihadists hijacked four commercial airplanes in the United States. Two of these planes collided into the World Trade Center Towers, the other crashed into The Pentagon while the fourth crashed in Pennsylvania but the final aircraft was believed to be targeted at the United States Capitol. Following those attacks on the United States, George W. Bush created a coalition that successfully overthrew the Taliban and Osama went into hiding for more than 10 years. Later, Osama was pronounced dead by president Obama. Although, Osama is dead, his beliefs are not, many still believe in
Osama Bin Laden an Afghan born terrorist, would be the only man alive to openly do harm to the biggest and most powerful nation- the United States by hijacking several planes and crashing them into the twin towers as well as the Pentagon. Osama Bin Laden had been one of the most wanted man in the history of terrorism. By many observations, his destructive behavior puts him on FBI’s Ten Most Wanted People in the world. Before 9/11 many people knew nothing about Bin Laden, so when Bin Laden was accused for the murder of the thousands of innocent American lives, he instantly became the most wanted. The attacks he perpetrated on the American soil hurt thousands of families in the U.S. and left the public furious as well as deeply depressed over
Osama bin Laden was an adversary of the West for years and it was known to the whole world. Unfortunately, he took it a little further by having two planes fly into the World
Osama bin Laden was the mastermind behind one of the worst acts of terrorism the world has ever known. On September 11 2001 in New York City the world trade center was attacked by hijacked Boeing 747 airplanes. One plane crashed into each tower. Another plane crashed into the Pentagon. The fourth plane was sabotaged by the passengers and crashed into a rural field in Pennsylvania. Just under 3000 people were killed. It took ten years to hunt bin Laden down. These are the details of how we did it (www.dnainfo.com).
Al-Qaeda, or “the Base” in Arabic, is an arrangement of extremists initially organized by Osama Bin Laden. Al-Qaeda originated throughout the uprising against the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan. Thousands of volunteers from around the Middle East came to Afghanistan as mujahideen, warriors fighting to defend fellow Muslims. Bin Laden returned to his native Saudi Arabia after the Soviets withdrew from Afghanistan and founded an organization to help veterans of the Afghan war, thus creating the basis of al-Qaeda. The death of Bin Laden, who was killed in a joint operation by US troops and CI operatives in May 2011, complicated the future of al-Qaeda. Some speculated that the group might seek retaliation, while others wondered if they would wallow without their supreme leader. More than a month after bin Laden’s death, al-Qaeda named Dr. Ayman al-Zawahiri as their new leader. Following bin Laden’s death another powerful top ranking al-Qaeda leader, Fazul Abdullah Mohammed, was killed in June. Fazul Abdullah Mohammed was the leader of al-Qaeda in East Africa and was responsible for the organized US embassy bombings in Kenya and Tanzania in August 1998.
Ever since the bombing of the World Trade Center on February 1993 the United States of America has stepped up its commitment to stopping terrorism. The general public after the bombing also took a new view on Islam, a negative one. The February 7 arrest of Ramzi Yousef made the world open its eyes to Islamic terrorists. The FBI is even involved in terrorist investigations and it does not help the image of the Islamic people that most wanted man by the United States of America is Usama Bin Laden, a Saudi Arabian. He is the leader of the terrorist organization known as Al-Qaeda, which is one of the most active terrorist groups. His central issue is the United States presence in the Arabian Peninsula and the military presence in his former homeland Saudi Arabia. Bin Laden made a declaration in February 1999 in the name of his "International Islamic Front for Jihad against Jews and Crusaders." He stated that "to kill Americans and their allies, both civil and military, is an individual duty of every Muslim who is able, in any country where this is possible." These kinds of statements are immediately taken by the Western media and given to the public. The public of course reacts with anger and creates a bias against
