Come on. Osama Bin Laden thinks he's Hassan Ibn Sabha to the extent that
Mohammed Atta is described as having tied a red sash around his head
during the capture of the plane. That was the trademark of one of the
Hashishin on an assasination run.

Keep in the mountains. Check. Obscure Islamic sect. Check. Connections
in the Saudi royal family. Check. Reward in paradise. Check.
Infiltration and assasination politics. Check.
