Osama bin Laden

Osama bin Mohammed bin Awad bin Laden (10 March 1957 – 2 May 2011), also rendered Usama bin Ladin, was a founder of the pan-Islamic militant organization al-Qaeda. The group is designated as a terrorist group by the United Nations Security Council, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), the European Union, and various countries.
Bin Laden was the mastermind of the 1998 United States embassy bombings, which caused him to be placed on the Federal Bureau of Investigation's Top Ten Most Wanted list. Bin Laden also plotted the USS Cole bombing, but is most well-known for masterminding the September 11 attacks. 
On 2 May 2011, bin Laden was shot and killed by US Navy SEALS in his personal compound in Pakistan, on the order of President Barack Obama.
