| Son of a businessman, educated and erudite, Osama
Bin Laden was America's greatest ally in Afghanistan and is now its
deadliest enemy.
His biography, to be aired on History Channel on 11 September at
7 pm, portrays the transformation of an Arab intellectual into a
staunch Islamic fundamentalist, who declared a 'holy war' against
the USA, resorting to terrorist attacks on major American installations
worldwide.
Exiled from his homeland - Saudi Arabia, for protesting against
the alliance with the USA in the Gulf War, Osama remains as elusive
and mysterious as ever.
