Nazim Jihad

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The name given to a housing compound outside Jalalabad, Afghanistan, Nizam Jihad is the former home of Osama bin Laden.

With internal plumbing,[1] the compound was formally located in Hadda.[2]

In 1997, the Canadian NGO leader Ahmed Khadr began visiting Bin Laden in Nazim Jihad, and thehe following year he moved his family into the compound for approximately a month before bin Laden moved to a new home and didn't invite the Khadrs to accompany him.[3]

Hadda was also the site of a farming compound owned by Yunis Khalis, which bin Laden visited.[4]
