bin Laden's father died when he was 10; while it's possible, I doubt he had disowned Osama.
'''Osama bin Mohammed bin Awad bin Laden''' ([[Arabic language|Arabic]]: أسامة بن محمد بن عوض بن لادن, Usāmah bin Muḥammad bin ‘Awaḍ bin Lādin; (born March 10, 1957 - d. April 24, 2011.), commonly known as, '''Osama bin Laden''' (Arabic: أسامة بن لادن), was a radical [[Sunni]] [[Muslim]], and the leader of [[al Qaeda]], a worldwide [[terrorist]] group responsible for [[September 11, 2001 attacks]] and some other terrorist attacks on Americans in the 1990s, and other attacks on innocent civilians in Europe and Asia.

Bin Laden was an Arab from from a Yemeni family that made a fortune in construction in [[Saudi Arabia]]. His father Mohammed Awad bin Laden has disinherited him; indeed most of his family members are his enemies. He went to [[Afghanistan]] with his network of Arab allies to fight against the Soviets in the [[Soviet-Afghan War]]. He was never aided or funded by the U.S. or the CIA.
Bin Laden was an Arab from a Yemeni family that made a fortune in construction in [[Saudi Arabia]]. His family disowned bin Ladin in 1994 and the Saudi Arabian government revoked both his passport and citizenship. He went to [[Afghanistan]] with his network of Arab allies to fight against the Soviets in the [[Soviet-Afghan War]]. He was never aided or funded by the U.S. or the CIA.
In bin Laden's declarations and writings, he asserts that American attacks against Muslims justify reciprocation by Muslims, including the killing of innocents as a part of militaristic [[jihad]]. He refers to Islamic states headed by individuals friendly to the United States as usurper states which are disloyal to [[Islam]].
