Saad bin Laden
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Saad bin Osama bin Muhammad bin 'Awad bin Laden (Arabic: سعد بن لادن) (b. 1979), one of the sons of Osama bin Laden, continued in his father's footsteps, occupying a position of prominence within Al Qaeda.
Saad was believed to have been heavily responsible for the bombing of a Tunisian synagogue on April 11, 2002, which killed 19.[1]
The following year, there were disputed claims of his capture by Pakistan in March,[2] though these proved false, and he was implicated in the May 12th suicide bombing in Riyadh, and the Morocco bombing four days later.
Saad accompanied his father on his exile to Sudan from 1991-96, and followed him to Afghanistan after that. He is believed to be married to a woman from Yemen.
