* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: One of his tapes responded to the USA's propaganda about "freedom" with him saying "if I was doing this because I hated freedom, I'd be bombing Sweden, not America".
* [[The Dragon]]: [[Morally-Ambiguous Doctorate|Ayman Al Zawahiri]] fulfilled this role for bin Laden.
* [[Elite Mooks]]: Osama had them in the form of [[wikipedia:055 Brigade|These guys]].
* [[Eye Scream]]: News reports over the May 2 assassination of Bin Laden reveal that Bin Laden was either shot in the left eye when he refused to surrender, or the bullet went high and blew away part of Osama's skull. [[Stephen Colbert]] [[Squee|squeed]] quite a bit at this particular detail.
* [[Face Heel Turn]] / [[The Starscream]]: He fought against the Soviets as a Mujahadeen commander in Afghanistan in the 80s.
