bin Laden in Sudan

Osama bin Laden lived in Sudan in the 1990s after being expelled from Saudi Arabia. Sudan at the time was a safe haven for radical Islamist groups, and the Sudanese government provided support and protection to bin Laden and his associates. During his time in Sudan, bin Laden established training camps for militants and continued to plan and carry out terrorist attacks against Western targets. In 1996, under pressure from the United States, Sudan expelled bin Laden and he relocated to Afghanistan, where he continued to lead Al Qaeda and plan attacks against the West.
