Terrorist organizations all start from an individual or group of people sharing a vision of something they wish to see done within their country or in the world. The terrorist organization al-Qaeda started when a man name Osama bin Laden wanted to start something to better the lives of the Muslim community in the middle east. Osama bin Laden was a freedom fighter and helped the fight against the Soviet Union in Afghanistan. After the Afghans fought off the attack bin Laden went on to start-up his Jihad organization al-Qaeda. This helped fuel the radical Islamic followers to continue their violent crusade in the middle east and to help push their agendas. The main reason that bin Laden was able to do all this is that he knew how to tap into …show more content…
He used this power of manipulation to tap into the psychology of defeat that the Muslims were feeling because they felt they were weaker than people of other religion. This emotion that he tapped into is what caused people to be so radicalized that they went and committed the horrible crimes on the United States on September 11, 2001. These accomplishments and skills that bin Laden has are those of a man who is educated and intelligent in drawing emotions out of people. The communication skills combined with the knowledge bin Laden learn attending the university is what helped him bring people to follow him. Osama bin Laden used the connections he made in the Afghan-Soviet war to combine his powers into one single entity which became known as al-Qaeda (adl.org, 2013). He used his education skills to run al-Qaeda like how someone would run a business. al-Qaeda was ran with a strict hierarchy and rules that were put in to be followed. He had his organization separated into different wings and structures with people reporting up and down a chain of command. This organization had a bookkeeping system where they would have every single item that was …show more content…
Bin Laden ran a very successful conglomerate like terrorist organization with multiple layers of hierarchy. This system proved to be very successful for him for a long time until he had to go into hiding and eventually was killed. In the wake of Osama bin Laden's death al-Qaeda has still not disbanded and is still running but has been overshadowed by ISIS. Baghdadi may run a different form of recruiting and public image, but being that he was a former al-Qaeda member he took a lot of the structure learned from bin Laden and adopted it into his own organization. Osama bin Laden’s message and way of structuring a terrorist organization like a well ran business with various levels of hierarchy is something that could be seen in future terrorist organizations and it is essential that law enforcement receives proper education and training in order to dismantle
About eight months into his first term as president Bush had to deal with one of the worst tragedies in U.S. history, the 9/11 terrorist attacks. Although many of his moves during this time of turmoil in the United States were viewed as necessary and patriotic, a few years after the attacks information surfaced that completely destroyed Bush’s image. Long before the 9/11 attacks in 2001, during the Clinton administration, intelligence was collected that connected Al-Qaeda leader Osama Bin-Laden to the 1998 bombings of two US embassies in Africa. The Bush administration was warned by outgoing Clinton officials about Al-Qaeda, but information provided by Richard Clarke was the most sincere and frightening. Clarke, who remained from the Clinton
Osama bin Laden and Khalid Sheikh Mohammed were responsible for plotting 9/11. Khalid Sheik Mohammed was the 9/11 operational commander who initially planned an attack on the United States, which involved hijacking ten planes which were to be flown into buildings on both the west and east coasts. Osama bin laden attacked the United States because of his hatred for the US and his yearning for revenge against the US. Bin Laden was motivated by the belief that the “Islamic world has been tasting [humiliation and degradation] for 80 years” by Western powers (27). For example, Saudi Arabia rejected Osama bin Laden’s offer to deploy his army to defend Saudi Arabia from Saddam Hussein’s invasion; instead, the Saudis sought the protection of the United
Osama bin Laden and Al Queda performed 62 attacks between 1962 and 2005. The first attack was on December 29, 1962 and while only two tourists were killed, it was the beginning of a lifetime of terror. Their last attack was on August 19, 2005, when two rockets were fired into an Israeli port killing one man. Over the course of the attacks, approximately 10,000 innocent men, women, and children were killed.
Good Morning, Overgeneralisation has been a major cause of faulty reasoning in various issues in the U.S. For over two decades, Osama bin Laden was presented as the face of terror in the world. The media created his image as the best way that terror would be defined. There was a perception that his death would reflect the defeat of terror that would not rare its ugly head again in the magnitude that was experienced when Osama was alive. However, this must have been one of the faulty reasoning that surrounded the otherwise controversial decision of killing and “disposing” his body (Lynch, 2013). It is true that Osama acted as a symbol and inspiration to the Muslim extremists, but the group has no expanded to cover the entire world and is now
While his techniques were very skillful, not all his information was accurate, or true for that matter. His claims that Bush created the war to build an oil pipeline, was close to the Bin Landen’s, and the extreme amounts of money that was put into America by the Saudi’s are all used to stack upon one another to deceive the reader into thinking that there is corruption.

Their main concern was hunting down the terrorist leader of al Qaeda, Osama bin Laden.

The mission was not accomplished, but the attack did kill six people. The organizer of this attack was Ramzi Yousef, whose uncle went on to be the operational commander of the attack at the World Trade Center on 9/11.
Al-Qaeda v Islamic State The emergence of radical jihadist organizations has become a great threat to global security in the twenty-first century, and no organizations have been more violent or notorious than Al-Qaeda and the Islamic State. Both organizations seek to establish a global caliphate governed by their extremely strict Sharia Law, and seek to purify Islam by following their ideology of Salafism. Both groups, although they differ in practice, seek to rid Muslim lands of any Western influence, and free the muslim people from the West’s oppression, specifically targeting the United States.
The Islamic State is known by multiple names, ISIS, IS, and ISIL but all of these names refer to the same group. It is thought that ISIS started during the Iraq war in 2003 (“Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (ISIL)”, 2015). ISIS is widely known for committing many acts of terror such as murders, assassinations,
