Osama bin Laden was born in Saudi Arabia on March 10, 1957 in a newly wealthy non royal family (cited in Global Security, 2009). Bin Laden was worried about the plight of Muslims all over the world since its child hood.  He was impressed by Abdullah Azzam, who provided the ideological bases of al-Qaeda and Ayman al-Zawahiri, who was the chief deputy of his party after the 9/11 attacks. In 1980, he aggressively started warfare, first from Afghanistan, against the aggression of the Soviet Union and then against the U.S.  In 1984, he along with his colleagues, established an organization named the “Services Office”, which became the forerunner of al-Qaeda. Bin Laden strongly protested the ruling Saudi kingdom because it allowed the United States to make its base station on Saudi soil.

Then Bin Laden moved his party to Sudan where Islamic fundamental party came into power. Al-Qaeda employed experienced persons of the Afghan war and get on a lot of projects aimed at providing the financial support to the jihad activities.
