In a carefully staged interview approved by the Saudi crown prince and in the presence of a government “minder,” the mother of Osama bin Laden lamented the career path of “a very good kid” who lost his way in college.
The al-Qaida founder responsible for the 9/11 attacks that killed 2,996 people was a shy boy who underwent a radical transformation while studying economics at King Abdulaziz University in Jeddah, Alia Ghanem told Martin Chulov of the Guardian newspaper of London.
“The people at university changed him,” she said in the interview conducted at her Jeddah home in June. “He became a different man.”
The Guardian’s Chulov noted, however, that the room where the interview took place in the family’s mansion had numerous images of the 9/11 mastermind, including one at his mother’s feet and another on a mantlepiece.
To Ghanem, he was still a beloved son.
“My life was very difficult because he was so far away from me,” she said. “He was a very good kid and he loved me so much.”
At university in Jeddah, the Guardian pointed out, Osama bin Laden met Abdullah Azzam, a member of the Muslim Brotherhood who was later exiled from Saudi Arabia and became bin Laden’s spiritual adviser.

I heard the lefty SJW stuff I college, but only in my liberal arts core courses. I heard zero of if it my math and computer science courses. My son says the same (getting a CS degree).
I guess math is incompatible with leftism.
“He was a good boy...just turning his life around...aspiring rapper...he dindu nuffin...”
Prisons are full of men whose mothers remember them as “good boys.”
Stuff it, mom.
It’s always someone else’s fault. Lots and lots of people go to universities (as I did) and do not turn out like Osama Bin Laden.
snuff mom.
Yoohoo Snackbar, douchebag.
After researching Islam for years I have come to the conclusion that the Wahabbis have the correct interpretation of Islam as stated by Allah in the Koran, the examples set by Muhammed in the Sira and Hadiths and the examples set by the 4 Caliphs who immediately succeeded Muhammad.
That Wahhabi interpretation of Islam is not good for me, or my family, friends, or country or anyone who is not a fundamental Muslim.
They want to subjugate convert or kill us non- believers in Islam.
And that goes for Muslim moderates.(heretics)
They have been doing this for 1400 years, and in the 1700s al Wahab reinforced that this was the correct way to practice the religion. - Tom
Who knew Bin Laden attended Brown University?
So, you think they’re lying? :-)
Bin Laden would’ve fit in very good at Berkeley.
No sale!
Millions of kids have gone to college and 99.99% of them did not become terrorists/mass murderers.
No Muslim is under any obligation to tell us Infidels the truth or adapt to our disgusting cultural standards..
Muslims can practice Taqiyya to deceive us Kafirs.
However Islam is such a difficult religion to practice the tendency to heresy is rampant .
That is why so many Muslims are killed by Wahabbi type Muslims who follow Islam to the letter.
A Muslim heretic may very well speak the truth to us Kafirs.
That's the problem we have with Islam is differentiating between true believers in Islam and the Muslim slackers who are more interested in getting along with us Kafirs and more interested in worldly things than doing what Allah wants done. - Tom
There’s only one problem Mama, Saudi Arabia continued to fund Azzam when he was in Peshawar during the war in Afghanistan and continued to fund him (and your boy) until Azzam was assassinate by killers loyal to Ayman al-Zawahiri (also a Muslim Brother in his youth).
I am giving one iota of a sh*t, Ms/Mrs bin Laden......
No complaints here.
And where were you brainwashed?
No, the trouble was that he didn’t HAVE any brains to begin with.
What little there were got blown out by the Navy SEALS.
