A lanky but handsome Osama bin Laden
An undated photograph provided by Taiwanese judo coach Jimmy Wu shows Osama Bin Laden as a Judo student in Riyadh. Osama Bin Laden stood out from others not just for his height but for his serious conservative demeanour, according to Wu on May 7, 2011, who says the recently ****ed al-Qaeda leader was a student in his judo classes in Saudi Arabia in the early 1980s. He was a tall, thin, bearded, serious young man with a mop of black hair.
