On May 1, 2011, the world's attention was marked by the fact that U.S. special forces successfully killed Ben, who is widely recognized as the world's leading terrorist figure. Bin laden.
The news of bin Laden's death, as the mastermind of the "911 incident", caused a strong shock in ** and sparked heated discussions around the world. Although all countries** have expressed their resolute opposition to international terrorism, there are still different voices among the people regarding the grievances between bin Laden and the United States.
Since the 80s of the 20th century, this rich second generation of Saudi Arabia gave up his peaceful life and went to the mountains of Afghanistan to participate in the "holy war", and was active in the mountains of South Asia for nearly two decades, and finally hid in a villa for ten years.
Osama bin Laden had fought with the Soviet Union, attacked the United States, had little affection for Europe, and Afghanistan, where his al-Qaeda was active, was adjacent to our country, but nevertheless they never seemed to have directly invaded China.
China is not a major target of international terrorism, and while groups like al-Qaeda and ISIS have been involved in Afghanistan, they have little influence in China.
Even in the present. When bin Laden was active, he also rarely mentioned China, and there were even Internet rumors that he left his last words: "Don't provoke China." "So, why Ben. The Afghan mujahideen represented by bin Laden did not target China
Has al-Qaeda ever considered action against China?This is called Ben. Are bin Laden's last words true?
Ben, 1957. Osama bin Laden was born in Riyadh, the capital of Saudi Arabia. His family is large and has strong ties to the Saudi royal family. Root. The success of the bin Laden family began during the time of his grandfather, "bin Laden Sr."
The elder bin Laden used his connections to the royal family to run a construction company in Riyadh, took on many large-scale projects, and eventually became a wealthy local businessman. In the mid-20th century, Ben. Bin Laden Construction Company has had a near-monopoly on large state projects in Saudi Arabia for decades.
After bin Laden Sr. died, the company passed the management to his eldest son, Salim, Ben. Osama bin Laden's father. Salim returned to his hometown to work after completing his studies in the UK.
He married many wives and gave birth to more than 50 children in total, among whom Ben. Osama bin Laden ranked 17.
Despite the untimely death of Saudi Arabia's richest man, Salim, his eldest grandson, Becker, inherited the family's business empire. Today, the bin Laden family's business extends beyond the construction industry to include oil, jewelry, and overseas**.
As part of the family, bin Laden became a billionaire in the 80s. According to bin Laden's mother, Ghanim, the "old 17" was well-behaved and modernized from an early age, without any extremist thoughts.
However, during his college years, he was exposed to and indulged in extreme Islamic ideas. According to the analysis of American experts, as a rich second generation, bin Laden has less social experience, lives a comfortable life, and is spiritually empty, and it is easy to become fanatical about ethereal things, especially the kind of religious extremism full of a sense of sacredness and mission.
He began to use his own money to finance the Mujahideen, and even operated in Sudan, doing business while supporting jihadist guerrillas. When the Soviet war in Afghanistan broke out in 1979, bin Laden was also actively involved, fighting the Soviet army alongside American-backed Arabs and Pakistanis.
As a result of the Soviet Union's injustice in the Soviet-Afghan war, the whole world united to isolate the Soviet Union, the United States provided funds and military advisers, and the Islamic world invested manpower in guerrilla warfare in the Hindu Kush.
On the first hand, the United States, because it has just established diplomatic relations with China, has good relations, and Sino-Soviet relations are tense, so it chose to hand over this order to China, involving a total of several hundred million dollars.
The Chinese Type 56-2 submachine gun, the 40mm anti-tank rocket launcher (the domestic version of the Soviet RPG), the Type 80 general-purpose machine gun and the Hongying-5 anti-aircraft missile were all resold to the guerrilla forces in Afghanistan.
These ** were shipped to Pakistan via the Americans, and then transshipped from Pakistan to Afghanistan. Therefore, in the old ** of the Soviet-Afghan war, the "Soviet-style **" carried by many guerrillas was actually made in China.
Maybe even this book. Bin Laden also used the Type 56 submachine gun. Because China's openness in diplomacy and ** is different from the Americans behind it, therefore, like Ben. People like bin Laden are not very hostile to China, and even have some respect because of China's excellent performance.
Before the Soviet Union's retreat from Afghanistan at the end of the 80s, the Mujahideen in Afghanistan were not interested in the great powers other than the Soviet Union, and they understood that challenging the great powers was like "ants gnawing on elephants" and had no practical meaning.
In 1989, the Soviet Union completely withdrew from Afghanistan, and the "jihadist guerrillas" in Afghanistan ended their so-called mission, and some began to divide and seize power in the civil war.
Exactly a year before the withdrawal of Soviet troops, bin Laden established his own "al-Qaeda". However, shortly after the formation of the organization, the fighting in Afghanistan ended, and the organization had nowhere to play, so he had to travel to Sudan, Africa.
Bin Laden's "jihadist mentality" became radicalized after the 1991 Gulf War.
In 1991, the United States launched Operation "Desert Storm", which successfully defeated Iraq's million-strong army, triggering a war in the Middle East. As a Muslim, bin Laden saw it as an invasion of Muslim lands, like the Soviet Union's role in the Soviet-Afghan war.
At first, he tried to write a letter to the Saudi king, hoping that they would stop the actions of the United States, but even though their family was close to the royal family, the king ignored him.
This made bin Laden realize that the West may have taken control of the upper echelons of the Arab world, and he began to call on the Arab world to unite and resist the ** religious state led by the United States.
Osama bin Laden's increasingly extreme behavior has attracted the attention of the CIA in the United States. They pressured Saudi Arabia through the United States**, leading to bin Laden's deprivation of citizenship and deportation in 1995.
He then traveled to Sudan and led his followers to plan terrorist attacks. After 1992, bin Laden returned to Afghanistan and since then attacks on the United States have become more frequent.
Since 1992, bin Laden has carried out a number of terrorist attacks against the United States, including the World Trade Center** case in 1993, the assassination of Pope John Paul II in 1995, and the terrorist attack on the American embassy in East Africa in 1998.
Eventually, in 2001, bin Laden orchestrated the "911 attacks" by hijacking planes and crashing two World Trade Towers.
In 1994, the bin Laden family announced their decision to marry Ben for fear of being implicated. bin Laden severed ties and no longer offered funding and contact. However, Ben. Bin Laden still has part of the legacy, and he used the money to arm the mujahideen.
According to the CIA intelligence in the United States, bin Laden was already in a state of mental disorder at that time, and his thinking was full of ethereal dreams of "great unification of the Islamic world", and he intended to drive Westerners out of Arabia, and at the same time let the followers accept the leadership of Islam and build a unified Islamic world.
The United States will be Ben. Osama bin Laden was named the most wanted man and raised the bounty to $10 million, but he was hampered by the Taliban because he was hiding in Afghanistan, a fundamentalist country, and mixed with the Taliban.
During the Soviet-Afghan War, the United States strongly supported Ben. Osama bin Laden and his men ended up reaping the consequences. If even his own financier can betray, then Ben. Osama bin Laden has no qualms about international relations.
As a result, al-Qaeda in Afghanistan has also exported terrorist acts against China. In the last decade of the 20th century, there were a number of terrorist incidents in the Xinjiang region of northwestern China, which were linked to the "East Turkestan Islamic Movement", which used Afghanistan as a base to train *** and infiltrate our country from China's western borders.
According to international recognition, this. Osama bin Laden's al-Qaeda had provided ** and funds to ETIM.
In 2001, the United States was noted"911 Incident"And the war in Afghanistan was launched, the Taliban regime was overthrown, but Afghanistan fell into civil strife again. The United States has fostered a new ** here, but the Taliban's control over the vast mountainous areas has not weakened, and there are tribal forces to support and wage guerrilla warfare with the United States.
Even after taking control of Afghanistan, the United States continued to hunt for bin Laden many times, but he continued to shuttle between the mountains of Afghanistan and Pakistan, making the search for the US military as difficult as finding a needle in a haystack, and so far to no avail.
Since 2001, the political situation in Afghanistan has been turbulent, and the activities in the Hindu Kush Mountains have brought serious security threats to the world. China's Xinjiang region has also been plagued by the "three forces" for a long time.
In response to terrorist attacks, China has worked closely with Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan in Central Asia to strengthen border control and reduce infiltration.
China's Xinjiang region, where the armed police, the People's Liberation Army, local police stations, and militias continue to fight terrorism, and many national public officials have died heroically in the fight against terrorism, and finally gradually suppressed this force after 2014.
Although al-Qaeda has been greatly weakened in the long-term fight against terrorism and is far less influential than groups such as ISIS, some are still trying to revert to it because of the anti-American sentiment that still exists around the world. The relationship between bin Laden and China is portrayed too harmoniously.
However, this kind of rumor is the same as "Chinese drug lords don't sell drugs to the country", which is harmless on the surface but actually extremely harmful, seriously distorting reality and misleading people's understanding of ***.
Therefore, we should be clear about the facts and treat the issue of terrorism with hospitality.
For Ben. Osama bin Laden, the terrorist leader, even in the Arab world, has mostly been negatively evaluated. His acts of terror, such as self-bombing in mosques, bazaars and other places, have resulted in the lives of innocent civilians and provoked global outrage.
In addition, he took advantage of the low level of education of the local people, controlled and exploited them, and even forced parents to hand over their children as human bullets, resulting in the breakup of many families. As a result of the brutal acts of terrorist groups, many countries in Asia have adopted anti-terrorism laws at the beginning of the 21st century to uphold social justice.
Root. The rise and fall of bin Laden had its own special historical context, but his terrorist acts had a profound impact on the world that has not been eradicated to this day. Therefore, in the face of terrorism, all mankind should unite as one to resist and combat it, instead of believing rumors and glorifying terrorist acts.
