A recent survey conducted by the British site DailyMail exposes that one in five young Americans, aged 18 to 29, hold a positive opinion of Osama bin Laden, the mastermind behind the September 11 attacks and founder of Al-Qaeda. 

The survey further highlights that three in ten individuals within this age group believe that the views of the anti-Semitic terrorist leader, responsible for the deaths of thousands, were a "force for good."

The findings have sparked concern among family members of the September 11 victims, describing the results as "horrific" and indicative of a troubling trend. Osama bin Laden orchestrated the 2001 hijackings that led to the deaths of 2,977 people and injured thousands at the World Trade Center, the Pentagon, and Shanksville, Pennsylvania.
