Hello American families...I know that you are the ones reading this. I am a militant Islamist and I am one of the founders of al-Qaeda. In conjuction with several other Islamic militants, I issued Fatwa, that Muslims should kill civilians and military personnel from the United States and allied countries until they withdraw support for Israel and military forces from Islamic countries.I have been indicted in United States federal court for my alleged involvement in the 1998 U.S. embassy bombings in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania and Nairobi, Kenya, and am on the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation's Ten Most Wanted Fugitives list. I have also been linked to the 2000 USS Cole bombing, the Bali nightclub bombings, the Madrid bombings, as well as bombings in the Jordanian capital of Amman and in Egypt's Sinai peninsula.Although I have not been indicted for the September 11, 2001 attacks, I funded and directed them. Those attacks on 9-11-2001 involved the hijacking of United Airlines Flight 93, United Airlines Flight 175, American Airlines Flight 11, American Airlines Flight 77, and the subsequent destruction of the World Trade Center in New York City as well as causing severe damage to The Pentagon outside of Washington, DC. Altogether, 2,988 people were killed.I was born in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. My birth date is March 10, 1957. My father was the late Muhammed Awad bin Laden, a wealthy businessman involved in construction and with close ties to the Saudi royal family. Before World War I, my father emigrated from Hadhramaut, on the south coast of Yemen, to the Red Sea port of Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, where he began to work as a porter. Starting his own business in 1930, he built his fortune as a building contractor for the Saudi royal family during the 1950's.In 1994 my family publicly disowned me, shortly before the Saudi Arabian government revoked my citizenship for anti-government activity. I attended my son's wedding in January 2001, but since September 11 of that year I have only had contact with my mother on one occasion.My father had around 55 children, including myself. I am his seventeenth son. Father was married 22 times, although to no more than four women at a time per Sharia law. I was born the only son of my father's tenth wife, Hamida al-Attas, nee Alia Ghanem, who was born in Syria.My parents divorced soon after I was born. My mother then married a man named Muhammad al-Attas, who worked at my family's company. They had four children, and I then lived in the new household with three stepbrothers and one stepsister.I was raised as a devout Sunni Muslim. But from 1968 to 1976, I attended the relatively secular Al-Thager Model School, the most prestigious high school in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, called "the school of the élite." However, during the 1960s, King Faisal had welcomed exiled teachers from Syria, Egypt, and Jordan, so that around 1971 or 1972, at Saudi high schools and universities, it was common to find many of whom had become involved with dissident members of the Muslim Brotherhood. During that time, I was exposed to those educators' banned political teachings during after-school Islamic study groups.As a college student at King Abdulaziz University in Jeddah, I studied civil engineering and business administration. I earned a degree in civil engineering in 1979 and also one in economics and public administration, in 1981.At the university, I was influenced by several professors with strong ties to the Muslim Brotherhood. Among them was Muhammad Qutb, an Egyptian, whose brother, the late Sayyid Qutb, had written one of the Brotherhood’s most important tracts about anti-Western jihad, Signposts on the Road. The university at Jeddah is also where I met Dr. Abdullah Yusuf Azzam. Azzam was a teacher there while I was in attendance, and he would later play a crucial role working with me in the Afghanistan resistance against the Soviets.In 1974, at my prestigious age of 17, I married my first wife, Najwa Ghanem, my mother's niece, and a first cousin, who was from Syria. The marriage ceremony took place in Najwa's native land, at Latakia, in northwestern Syria. After the birth of my first son, Abdallah, we moved from my mother's house to a building in the Al-Aziziyah district of Jeddah.I have fathered at least 24 children. My wife, Najwa, had 11 children, including Abdallah, Omar, Saad and Muhammad.
