Because there are different wys to translitterate Arabic. And tats also why no one knows the correct way to write Libyas leaders name in latin alphabet.Originally posted by Tattila the Hun

The name is Usama, but arabic U is often transcribed as O (there's no O in arabic; for example, there were no word Ottoman/Osman is derived from arabic Uthman; name Umar exists often in Omar version in transcription)Originally posted by Tattila the Hun

ibn is a complicated matter.
word "ibn" = son.
but often in this case alif with kasra that stands for i in this word is not written, so it ends up with bn. But it's hard to pronounce sometimes, so small i sounds gets in between.
Ladin is correct, but You English-speakers have bad habit or using E for latin/polish/arabic i. And so, it becomes Laden. Otherwise You might pronounce it badly I think."I realise I hold the key to freedom,

So no direct connection between "bin" and Hebrew "ben"? other than connection between 'ben' and 'ibn'?Originally posted by Heresson

(BTW - Osama's capture is worth $25 million.)"And so, my fellow Americans: ask not what your country can do for you—ask what you can do for your country. My fellow citizens of the world: ask not what America will do for you, but what together we can do for the freedom of man." -- JFK Inaugural, 1961

Too bad. Mashadov has been portrayed by many as the only one with the potential to unite the Chechens in a peace effort. Now I don't see any end to the war.

One more bites the dust. Good riddance. I'd shoot him in the head myself, like all other terrorists.For there is [another] kind of violence, slower but just as deadly, destructive as the shot or the bomb in the night. This is the violence of institutions -- indifference, inaction, and decay. This is the violence that afflicts the poor, that poisons relations between men because their skin has different colors. - Bobby Kennedy (Mindless Menance of Violence)Comment
