Detailed explanation-1: -Bin Laden’s Extremist Roots In 1988, after Soviet forces were defeated and withdrew from Afghanistan, bin Laden founded an organization called al Qaeda, or “the Base, ‘’ to continue the cause of jihad (holy war) through violence and aggression.
Detailed explanation-2: -For five years, he had concealed himself and his extended family-wives, children and grandchildren-in a compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan, but now it appeared that his carefully constructed hideaway was coming apart.
