- | I mean, I was sent to training camps. | 0:00 |
I was sent to like four or five training camps. | 0:02 | |
I had one guy speak to me about | 0:06 | |
the whole idea of becoming a suicide bomber and stuff. | 0:08 | |
And it just wasn't for me. | 0:11 | |
And I don't think, to be honest, | 0:13 | |
personally I don't think my dad believed in it too. | 0:15 | |
He believed in man-to-man and stuff like that. | 0:18 | |
I don't think my dad believed in the suicide bombing. | 0:22 | |
Interviewer | What kind of training camps | 0:25 |
did he send you to? | 0:27 | |
What were they training you for? | 0:28 | |
- | They're training you for regular urban war, | 0:29 |
like AKAs, tanks, explosives, stuff like that. | 0:31 | |
Interviewer | Did you feel comfortable in that | 0:36 |
or did it seem like, | 0:38 | |
Oh, you're too young or-- | 0:39 | |
- | I was 12 or 13 years old, | 0:40 |
so I was kind of young. | 0:43 | |
But again, for me, I had lived there. | 0:45 | |
We moved to Pakistan when I was two years old. | 0:47 | |
So it was more like of that culture then of this. | 0:51 | |
So it wasn't really a shock to me, | 0:54 | |
everything that was going on there. | 0:55 | |
I've seen people walking around with guns, | 0:57 | |
and everything like that was normal to us. | 0:59 | |
It wasn't a surprise. | 1:01 | |
I was a troublemaker when I was young. | 1:02 | |
So my experiences with the summer were usually | 1:04 | |
me getting disciplined. | 1:06 | |
Interviewer | By him? | 1:07 |
- | By his body guards. | 1:08 |
Osama usually didn't deal with anybody. | 1:10 | |
He had so much people around him | 1:11 | |
to deal with everything for him. | 1:13 | |
One incident, I was playing with a pop can | 1:15 | |
and I filled it up with gunpowder | 1:18 | |
and I put it on a rock. | 1:24 | |
And I'm thinking if I light it up, | 1:26 | |
it's going to go up into the air. | 1:28 | |
But because of the angle of how I put it up, | 1:29 | |
and Osama was just leaving the guestroom | 1:32 | |
where he stays and meets everybody. | 1:35 | |
And this thing just came up. | 1:37 | |
And when it came up, | 1:38 | |
everybody got into the position, | 1:39 | |
they thought it was an American attack | 1:41 | |
or something like that. | 1:42 | |
And then everybody looks at me and I'm standing there. | 1:43 | |
So I got in a couple of troubles because of that. | 1:45 |
