{1} Government officials, academics, linguists, and journalists often spell Arabic names differently. Even the same government department, for example, may render Osama bin Laden’s network as “al Qaeda” in one text and as “al Qaeda” in another. Similarly, “Osama” may appear as “Usama” and “bin Laden” as “bin Ladin.” In this publication, “al Qaeda” and “Osama bin Laden” are used.
