Osama Bin Laden As A Teenager
Apparently this picture (click to enlarge) has been circulating around for quite a while (over three years), but I've just seen it. It shows a happy group portrait of twenty-two brothers and sisters posing for the camera while on a family holiday, but the grinning kid whose face is circled is none other than Osama bin Laden. This picture appeared in the Sun with the caption:the 14-year-old is Osama bin Laden - and within a few years the grinning schoolboy was on his way to becoming the world's most cold-hearted mass murderer. The bin Laden children lined up next to a pink Chrysler Imperial for this snapshot on a trip to Falun, Sweden, in 1971. The holiday was paid for by their father Mohammed, a billionaire building tycoon. Osama inherited a fortune when his dad died soon afterwards - and used it to build a worldwide network of terror.
Is it just me, or does young Osama look a tiny bit like Bill Gates? Also, I had no idea he was only 47-years-old. He looks like he's nearing 60. (via Image of the Day)

Look at their noses. All the same, clearly not a cut and paste job - and if it is, then I envy that person.
And if someone missed the linkage put up of the original black and white photo, it's below.

"The one thing that makes me suspicious is the Chrysler Imperial. Back in the 1980s, I traveled all around Sweden, and I don't recall ever seeing a Chrysler, or any other American-made car, in the whole country."
In this particular part of Sweden they happen to love American cars. And fynd is by the way the swedish word for "special offer", has nothing to do with any fire department..

I saw a documentary on BBC where they displayed this very picture.
The narrator said Usama did not want to appear in the picture due to religious reasons. Are you sure this is really him or a brother of his?

It's odd that in the early 70's women of that age would be allowed to dress like they are. And it looks like that mihgt be a mother over the right shoulder of the guy with the hat. Alot of these people look to be 1-2yrs difference in age. Daddy must have had a real busy year LOL

In her book, Corbin notes that it is not Osama in this picture. Indeed, though the family did often travel outside of the middle east, Osama never joined (p. 5-6). The circled boy is another brother.

Yup, this is obviously a fake photoshop job. No way would a group of people ever conglomerate for a photo like that.

The bin Laden family did in fact go on vacation in Sweden. Not sure if this is the picture though, always thought it was black and white (but I have only seen it in the paper. The father was in construction of real estate and he was in Sweden to check out the prefab houses they sell there (like IKEA furniture you can also buy houses like that). Apparently Osamas older brothers made quite an impression on the local girls, that is why they still remember the visit. Falun is a very small town by the way so they probably would have been remembered just for being foreign.

That is clearly not Osama circled. That person has an earring, woman's shoes on, and woman's pants? Also, he was a bad kind of devout muslim, it's forbidden for muslims to cross-dress. Therefore, this picture is a fake. Oh, and it's also colorized using MS paint.

Health, smoking and genetics can cause a person to look older than they really are. Keep in mind that OBL did fight in wars again the USSR is under stress (poor baby - pop him in the head).
I used to work with a guy from Turkey back when I was 24years old. I though he was 40 years old.
Years later, I find out he was 21yrs old back then!
