      His strong beliefs urged him to help form the Islamist movement Al-Qaeda and a number of activites, bombings, etc including the most important event- 9/11 attacks in the US.
  • "Allah knows it did not cross our minds to attack the towers but after the situation became unbearable and we witnessed the injustice and tyranny of the American-Israeli alliance against our people in Palestine and Lebanon, I thought about it. And the events that affected me directly were that of 1982 and the events that followed – when America allowed the Israelis to invade Lebanon, helped by the U.S. Sixth Fleet. As I watched the destroyed towers in Lebanon, it occurred to me punish the unjust the same way (and) to destroy towers in America so it could taste some of what we are tasting and to stop killing our children and women." – Osama bin Laden, 2004[

      Might be a true fact more than a rumor. This statement cannot be trusted completely, it is reliable to an extent.

      2005
  • June. Taliban leader Mullah Bakht Mohammed claimed "The latest proof that he is alive is that he sent me a letter of condolences after the martyrdom of my brother. He advised me to follow my brother's path."

      This might be very reliable, but to an extent, because: Firstly, this is a primary source, but we are not aware whether what this Taliban leader states is true or not. Secondly, the Taliban leader's brother had sacrificed while fighting for their cause. His brother might have been in the Al Qaeda movement and Osama encourages this Taliban leader, Mullah Bakht Mohammed to follow his brother's footsteps by becoming a member of the Al Qaeda.

  • July 12, Pakistan's Interior Minister states bin Laden is not in Pakistan. The TimesOnline reports that he is still hiding in Afghanistan; Kunar Province being not far from Tora Bora

      2008: This goes back to the rumors stating that Osama has died somewhere near Tora Bora. This source, Pakistan's Interior Minister states that Osama is not in Pakistan, his hiding place is in Afghanistan somewhere around an area known as Tora Bora.

      2009 and 2010 state recent reports of Osama's whereabouts, but might not be very reliable since every source, be it news, reports, primary sources, etc state different locations of Osama's hiding, while some other state he must have died of natural causes, murder or kidney problems.
