Summary

This program traces Osama Bin Laden's life from his birth in 1957 through his adult years filled with increasing violence and militancy toward the West. Segments also address Bin Laden's growing anger during the 1980s and 1990s over America's military activities in the Middle East, his alleged estrangement from his Saudi Arabian family, and his arrogant claims that God or Allah supports all of his violent actions. The film also looks at the "jihad" or holy war Bin Laden declared on America and his support for the Taliban. The terrorist best-known for planning the devastating September 11, 2001, attack on America is shown in footage responding to questions posed by ABC reporter John Miller. ~ Elizabeth Smith, Rovi
