Shortly after the infamous terrorist attacks which took place on
September 11, 2001, the United States
government named "Osama bin Laden" (full name Sheikh Usamah Bin-Muhammad Bin-Ladin, also spelled Usama bin Laden, also spelled Ussamah Bin Ladin) as the prime suspect in its investigation of those attacks
and launched an invasion of Afghanistan in an effort to apprehend bin Laden and other members of
bin Laden's Al-Qaida organization. Bin
Laden is also wanted by the FBI in connection with the August 7, 1998 bombings of the United
States embassies in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania and Nairobi, Kenya. The United States State
Department has offered a $25 million reward for information leading directly to his capture or
conviction, and an additional $2 million dollars is being offered through a program developed
and funded by the Airline Pilots Association and the Air Transport Association. Even so, bin
Laden's current whereabouts are a mystery.
