The story about bin Laden and the CIA -- that the CIA funded bin Laden or trained bin Laden -- is simply a folk myth. There's no evidence of this. In fact, there are very few things that bin Laden, Ayman al-Zawahiri and the U.S. government agree on. They all agree that they didn't have a relationship in the 1980s. And they wouldn't have needed to. Bin Laden had his own money, he was anti-American and he was operating secretly and independently.
The real story here is the CIA didn't really have a clue about who this guy was until 1996 when they set up a unit to really start tracking him.

The did support him in the war against Russia. Those were naive times. Up until 9/11 he had monies coming from supporters all around the world. The radical Islam movement got stronger in the 90's as we chose not to confront his movement. After 9/11 alot of money dried up, but, he still gets millions from supporters and from drug sales. He also collects by threatening people of death unless they pay. You could say a sort of Arab Mafia.

Bin Laden, son of a billionaire Saudi businessman, became involved in the fight against the Soviet Union’s invasion and occupation of Afghanistan, which lasted from 1979 to 1988 and ended with a Soviet defeat at the hands of international militias of Muslim fighters backed by the U.S., Saudi Arabia and Pakistan. Together with Palestinian Muslim Brotherhood leader, Abdullah Azzam, bin Laden ran one of seven main militias involved in the fighting.
Here are sevral sources they earn from :
They established military training bases in Afghanistan and founded Maktab Al Khidamat, or Services Office, a support network that provided recruits and money through worldwide centers, including in the U.S.
bin Laden had injected as much as US$200 million into short-selling stocks which he knew would plummet on the news of the attacks he is said to have masterminded.
Saudi Arabian bin Laden inherited an estimated $60 million when his father, Mohammad, died in 1968, money derived from the giant Saudi Binladen Group, which was then mainly involved in the construction business in Saudi Arabia.
Bin Laden is believed to operate through frontmen and underworld people in construction, including Palestinians in Palestine and the United Arab Emirates, and other associates in the United States and some countries in Europe.
And especially in the Pakistani port city of Karachi, a veritable concrete jungle where the lucrative construction industry is firmly in the hands of the underworld - and in many cases with the blessing of the powerful Inter-Service Intelligence (ISI), which has close ties with the Taliban it helped install in Afghanistan.
According to investigations, in an average commercial project in Karachi, if a businessman invests Rs 10 million ($1.5 million), after two years he can earn a return of as much as Rs 100 million. Often, plots that are earmarked for non-commercial purposes, such as mosques, parks, schools and hospitals and which are available at cheap rates, are illegally purchased and turned into commercial complexes, all with officialdom turning a blind eye under pressure from the ISI.
Rest of them are oil resources, Drugs smuggling, human flesh trading, arms manufacturing, family help.....................................and the list counts as the master mind osama is difficult to understand

osama produces narcotics from afganistan,sells it to americans and raises money for his group.
america manufactures arms uses it on oil rich countries, gets money by selling oil,and gives some of the money to pakistan to nurtur terrorism. ha ha ---. america is bigger terrorist.
moral of the thing is ' osama - america bhai bhai'
the world politics is in the hands of businessmen(punjipatis) they are using politicians for their benefit.
hunderedsof innocent people are dying daily in iraq. who is responsible fot that?osama is terrorist no doubt but america is terrorist hundred times over.
we fellows should wake up and see the things as they are not as they are projected.
