Guess who is that cheerful baby ??
He was Osama Bin Laden ; the most wanted man in the world , the leader of the terrorist group Al Qaida
and here is the photo of his father Mohamed Bin Laden and his mother Hamida Al-Attas, oh yes his mother I think they did not know what was hidden in the future for their little baby.
Update: It turned out that this was the photo of Osama half brother Salam with his wife and their baby , I should have known better from the clothes
His father looked like a real Yemeni person , where as his mother reminds me with Famous Egyptian star diva Sohair El-Babaly in 1970s .
Update : Here is the real photo for Osama's father
He looks his dad more , in fact all the Bin Laden offspring looks like big Bin Laden , Ysalem and his crazy daughter look like him.
Hamida was the tenth wife of Bin Laden , she divorced him after Osama's birth , she is Syrian from Latakia.I do not know if she is alive or not
Here was Osama with the rest of Bin Laden Clan in 1970 in Sweden
and here is an image for another two Bin Ladens in Saudi Arabia , I think they are other half brothers of Osama, I do not know their names.
wow!
ReplyDeletewhere did you find this picture of baby Osama Bin Laden? I have been looking for one for quite a while now. I am an artist working on a series of paintings: portraits depicting influential people in today's political world, from their childhood photographs. Osama has been at the top of my list for some time. This is a perfect picture for my project. Here's a link if you're interested:

ReplyDeleteGood luck :)
That black and white photo is not of Osama's dad but of his eldest brother, Salem. The baby is not Osama but Salem's daughter. The picture in Sweden was taken in 1971. Salem is on the the two guys crouching at the front. He died in 1988.
ReplyDeleteare you sure anonymous ??
