VINTAGE / Bin Laden on Vacation, 1970





Here is Osama bin Laden on vacation with his family, Sweden, 1970. 

That year 23 members of the wealthy Bin Laden family visited Falun while one of the elder brothers conducted business with Volvo. Osama is remembered from the occasion as a quiet and reserved boy who at 16 didn't really stand out from the crowd.

I guess even terrorists need to take a break now and then.
