 An undated photograph provided by a judo coach called Jimmy Wu in Taiwan shows what Wu says is Osama Bin Laden dressed in his judo gi in Riyadh. Osama Bin Laden stood out from others not just for his height but for his serious conservative demeanour, according to Wu on May 7, 2011, who says the recently killed al-Qaida leader was a student in his judo classes in Saudi Arabia in the early 1980s. Wu showed Reuters photographs of himself and a tall, thin, bearded, serious young man with a mop of black hair whom he said was Osama. Osama attended lessons two to three times a week but Wu never saw him again after 1984. [Photo/Agencies]
