Osama Bin Laden was born in the year of 1957, in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia to a Syrian mother. Bin Laden was the seventh child of about 50 children of Saudi Arabia's wealthy families. His father named Mohammed Awad Bin Laden was a very poor laborer to end up owner as the biggest construction company. Bin Laden, the father was appointed some time in his life as the minister of public works because of his support to the king. Although he was a strict serious father Mohammad Bin Laden was said to be a very generous, humble, and devoted muslim in his life. Osama lost his father when he was just 13 and he married a relative at the age of 17. Bin Laden attended a university called King Abdul Aziz, in which he received a degree in public administration in Jeddah. Around 1979 when the Soviet invaded the Afghanistan region Bin Laden became part of the Afghan resistance. After the soviet withdrew in 1989 Bin Laden went back home as a hero, but was shortly disappointed by his corrupted family and government. When he discovered the presence of U.S troops during the Persian Gulf war he rejected this idea. In 1986 Osama decided to have his own camps in Afghanistan and two years later he had built more then six camps.
