Ben and Jennifer Britton ask: Where can we find a biography of bin Laden?
Only a few Western journalists have ever spoken to bin Laden, and he’s known to be very secretive. So there’s lots of confusion about facts that should be simple. One of the few to have interviewed bin Laden is terrorism expert Peter Bergen. His book, Holy War Inc.: Inside the Secret World of Osama bin Laden, was due out next spring but is now being rushed through the final stages of publishing for later this fall. Meantime, online biographies have popped up all over. Here are some useful resources: • Hunting bin Laden, the companion Web site to the PBS documentary. • A profile of Osama bin Laden, from the BBC program Panorama.
