Book Chapter
Nomad, 1989–1996
2011
Overview
This chapter focuses on Osama bin Laden’s travels from one country to another between 1989 and 1996. It begins by describing bin Laden’s stay in Saudi Arabia and his support for the movement called Islamic Awakening (Sahwa), as well as his decision to leave the Kingdom because of his feeling that he was betrayed by the regime and its scholars. It then considers bin Laden’s return to Pakistan, where he worked to mediate the political chaos and violence among the Afghan insurgent groups. It also comments on bin Laden’s animosity toward Britain, the United States, and the United Nations before concluding with a discussion of his life in Sudan where he prepared to use al-Qaeda to intensify the war on America.
