Life
Arnaout was raised in Hamat, Syria. In 1988, Arnaout participated in the Battle of Jaji, and was photographed alongside Osama bin Laden and quoted in the Arab News as saying the Soviet forces had destroyed the trees that the Mujahideen had hoped to use for fortifications.
Prior to 1996, Abu Ubaidah al-Banshiri, Mohammed Atef and Yaseen al-Iraqi aided Arnaout in purchasing AK-47s and mortar rounds from a Pashtun tribesman named Haji Ayoub, and they were subsequently delivered in large trucks to the Jawr and Jihad Wahl training camps.

Famous quotes containing the word life:
“If a walker is indeed an individualist there is nowhere he can’t go at dawn and not many places he can’t go at noon. But just as it demeans life to live alongside a great river you can no longer swim in or drink from, to be crowded into safer areas and hours takes much of the gloss off walking—one sport you shouldn’t have to reserve a time and a court for.”
—Edward Hoagland (b. 1932)
“The sweetest joys of life grow in the very jaws of its perils.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
“Those who find their life will lose it, and those who lose their life for my sake will find it.”
—Bible: New Testament, Matthew 10:39.
