Snapshots: the world in 24 hours May 7, 2011
An undated photograph shows coach Jimmy Wu (3rd L, bottom row) with who he says is Osama Bin Laden (2nd L, bottom row) and fellow members dressed in their 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-Qaeda 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]
