In what ways did osama bin laden achieve his goals

Osama was born in Saudi Arabia to a millionaire businessman father and hence he grew up as a royal son and he was deeply taught in the Islamic religious views. Due to his radical beliefs and practices and especially the hatred that he harbored against the West and especially the United States. Osama was banished from Saudi Arabia his motherland and he ran to Sudan, in Africa where he established a strong base and network in the territory. However, in 1996, Osama was forced out of Sudan when the United States forces launched massive attacks on his bases in the country. Therefore, Osama bin Laden was forced out of the country and established his new base in Afghanistan. Al Qaeda grew to be one of the most dreaded terror groups in the world.

With its radicalized teachings and the idea that they were fighting to safeguard against Allah and that they were fighting the holy war, which is the Jihad, many people joined the group. The radicalized members of the Al Qaeda group are also responsible for various atrocities that were performed all over the world2. The development of the Al Qaeda also the formation of either terror groups across the world which swore allegiance to Al Qaeda and the teachings of Osama bin Laden. Therefore, Al Qaeda led to the formation of various other terror groups across the world which continues to wreak havoc and create a lot of insecurity across the world. The 9/11 attack also reiterated the American spirit to fight against terror and not engineered the mass search for Osama bin Laden and the war that was aimed at dealing with the Al Qaeda terror group.

Therefore, in the attack against the World Trade center in 2001, Osama bin Laden achieved his dream of fighting and killing the Americans. The same was used by Osama as an act of war and wanted to punish the Americans. The attack was, therefore, one of the most choreographed and well-calculated moves that created massive casualties in the United States. The teachings and the doctrines that were developed by Osama bin Laden are still alive up to date. The war on terror that was engineered by the United States in 2001 has continued to claim thousands of Americans. Many American soldiers have been killed in combat in Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria and in other African countries where the radicalized Islamic doctrines have been developed. Civilian Americans have also been spread and most of the American front humanitarian services in these countries have also formed an easy target to the terror groups.

American Allies have also been deeply affected by the same. The American allies across the world have continued to lose many lives due to terror-related activities that were engineered by terror groups linked to Osama bin Laden’s Al Qaeda and his radicalized doctrines5. The bombings in the United States led to the death of more than 200 people including the American people who were working in the embassy. Other similar attacks were also witnessed in the other African States including Uganda and in Libya. The same was also witnessed in other Arab countries including Iraq and Afghanistan in which key United States installations were targeted. This, therefore, helped promote the success of Osama bin Laden. Osama had declared the war against the United States and its allies and this was what he was basically doing; waging war against the United States and its associates6.

This acted to strengthen the territory and made it one of the most insecure places on earth to counter the Americans and deal with them with ease. Osama engineered the unison of Al Qaeda and Taliban, the lead terror groups in the country7. In this way, Osama was able to fight with the Americans with much vigor due to the union of these two great terror groups. Osama, therefore, succeeded in unifying two renowned terror groups making them hard to fully subdue. The American suffered a lot of casualties from the same and this greatly affected the American people, its economy and resources that were channeled towards the war on terror. aspx?p=1001090.
