Usama bin Laden
Usama bin Laden was the founder of the militant organization al-Qaeda, known for orchestrating the September 11 attacks in 2001, which resulted in the deaths of nearly 3,000 people and led to significant changes in global security policies. His actions positioned him as one of the most wanted fugitives in history. Bin Laden was killed by U.S. Navy SEALs in 2011 during a raid in Abbottabad, Pakistan, ending a decade-long manhunt.
