Osama Bin Laden

As one of the most notorious terrorists in history, Osama Bin Laden formed al Qaeda and carried out several terrorist attacks against the United States. In 1998, he ordered the bombing of a U.S. embassy in Kenya, killing 300 people. And, of course, he ordered the attacks on September 11th which killed 3,000 innocent civilians. Many of his orders also involved having his own men kill themselves as suicide bombers.
