From an apparently Islamic site:

"According to these reliable, authentic, and universally accepted narrations, Mahdi will:

1. Be from among the family of Prophet(SAW), among the descendants of Fatima(RA);
2. Have a broad forehead and pointed nose;
3. Appear in one night;
4. Appear just before the day of judgment;
5. Have same name as hazrat Muhammad(SAW);
6. Escape from Madina to Makkah where people will pledge allegiance to him;
7. Receive pledge and help of Iraqi people;
8. Fight in battles;
9. Rule over the Arabs for seven years according to Sunnah;
10. Spread justice and equity on earth;
11. Eradicate tyranny and oppression;
12. Lead a prayer in Mekkah which Jesus(pbuh) will follow in;
13. NOT be the same individual as the Promised Messiah (Jesus)."

I don't know about the rest of the list, but OBL surely can't lay claim to #10 and 11 . . .

When the forces in the Sudan led by the Mahdi captured the fort at Khartoum and captured General Gordon, the hated one to them, they thought that they had seen the fulfillment of the prophecy. But not too long thereafter came Lord Kitchener with the Maxim guns and mowed them down by the thousands. It is our better technology that they still resent and they think now, with the oil weapon and its wealth, they have captured it. Time to prove them wrong and take away the oil weapon dramatically. We also will see a better weapon than we have now, more superior than the Maxim gun was to the rifle. It is not the technology which they have stolen that counts, it is freeing the inventors to invent that which will give us the victory, or more accurately bringing swiftly into play that which they have already invented.
