Q&A
Continued from Page IB
Who is Osama
bin Laden?
Born in 1957 to a wealthy
family in Saudi Arabia, bin
Laden's childhood was any
thing but remarkable. He was
described as a moderately reli
gious youth who joined the
Muslim Brotherhood while in
school. He came into contact
with Afghan rebel leaders in
1979 when the Soviets invad
ed Afghanistan. Inspired, bin
Laden collected money and
supplies for the resistance
movement. He began to build
camps for his followers who
supported his fight against the
Soviets. He named his group
the al-Qaeda, Arabic for “the
base,” thus creating an orga
nized militant army.
Ironically, the movement to
drive the Soviets from
Afghanistan was funded by
U.S. dollars. The al-Qaeda is
said to be unlike any terrorist
group faced before. Instead of
a tight infrastructure with a
definite command structure, it
has a very loose coalition and a
wide range of groups scattered
throughout the world.
When did bin
Laden begin to
express his anger
firmly at the
United States and
their Middle
Eastern allies?
Bin Laden has never been
a whole-hearted supporter
of the Saudi regime. He was
expelled by Saudi Arabia in
1991 for anti-government
activities. Bin Laden then
spent the next five years in
Sudan funding Islamic
groups. The United States
encouraged the Sudanese
government to expel bin
Laden, at which time he
returned to Afghanistan, his
resent hiding place. Bin
aden’s ideologies became
more radical in 1998 when
he called for a global war
against all Americans and
Jews; he also released a for
mal proclamation of war at
that time. The embassy
bombing in Tanzania and
Kenya followed a few
months later.

Dr. Brian Linn, professor
of history and director of the
Military Studies Institute at
Texas A&M, said, “If the
enemy is cultural imperial
ism, it doesn’t matter who
the enemy is, so there is
nothing the West can do that
will convince these people
that we aren’t a threat to
them.
“Part of the problem is
that these fundamentalists
believe that corruption and
tyranny within Afghanistan
is the fault of Western influ
ences,” Black said.
Islamic militants believe
that the United States and
their allies have corrupted
their people and they must
reclaim their moral beliefs
by minimizing the power of
the United States, he said.
One argument proposed
by Black was that bin
Laden’s anger could be
stemming from the presence
of U.S. troops in Saudi
Arabia, which was his home
land until he was exiled in
1991.
Black emphasized, how
ever, that the actions taken
by the terrorists were not of a
devout Muslim nature.
He said, “Maybe some of
these people just don’t know
their own religion very well
and therefore have behaved
in such a misguided manor in
the name of Islam.”
United States
Continued from Page 1
“However,” Linn added,
“if Afghanistan refuses to
turn over the people and
groups responsible for the
terrorist attacks, then our
targets will broaden.”
Despite, this seeming
confusion about who the
United States is now at war
with and why this enemy
has attacked, one thing can
be determined: we have
done nothing to deserve
what has happened and jus
tice will be served.
