Alleged Islamic Terrorist Chief May Have Fled SudanDATELINE: MANAMA, BahrainBODY:A reported leader of Islamic terrorists, Osama Bin Laden, may have left his exile in Sudan, a newspaper reported Wednesday.
Bin Laden, a Saudi Arabian of Yemeni descent, was headed to London, reported Al-Khaleej, which is based in Sharjah, part of the United Arab Emirates......Bin Laden was a confidant and a bankroller of Sheik Hassan al-Turabi, Sudan's leading fundamentalist and the real power behind the country's government.His family originally came from southern Yemen, and emigrated decades ago to Saudi Arabia where they amassed a fortune from the construction business and became one of the country's wealthiest families.Bin Laden reportedly has used his family's wealth to finance a number of extremist Islamic organizations.He has been cited in Yemen as the leader of fundamentalist terrorists who bombed two hotels in Aden in December 1992 in which two Austrian tourists were killed.The bombings narrowly missed 100 U.S. servicemen en route to Somalia for Operation Restore Hope.

So as early as 1994, the media knew that bin Laden had been aiming for foreigners and U.S. military forces involved with Operation Restore Hope in Somalia; it's not unreasonable to think the intelligence community could have, should have, and may have known a significant time earlier.
