He made roads in Sudan, too, when he was exiled there in the 1990s, including a new highwayfrom Khartoum to Port Sudan. But he was mostly building his terror network, starting withthe guesthouses and weapons he provided in Afghanistan through his maktab al-khidamat, then creating al-Qaeda, the base. Much of this was done with AbdullahAzzam, his religious mentor; later, the terror-work was directed by Ayman al-Zawahiri andothers; but it was he who first recorded, in hundreds of individual files, the details of each eagerrecruit, the date of arrival, what he had done for the cause. Keenly, he followed the mediacoverage of the atrocities he inspired, playing the worlds press like a violin when he chose. Hebuilt the brand and turned it into a global franchise; his face advertised it, even as hedisappeared.

90年代流亡于苏丹时,他也在那里修路,包括喀土穆和苏丹港之间的崭新高速公路。但是他更多地是建造自己的恐怖网络。首先,他从自己的旅馆和通过服务办公室向阿富汗输送的武器着手,然后组建了基地组织。这期间很大一部分工作是由他的宗教导师阿卜杜拉阿赞完成的,之后,这一恐怖网络由阿扎维和其他人来指挥,但是第一个以数百份文件的形式记录每位狂热的新基地分子的详细信息,包括加入的日期,为圣战事业做出何等功绩的人就是他。他密切地关注媒体对于他所引导的残暴恐怖事件的报道,同时像拨弄小提琴般随心所欲地玩弄世界的媒体。他一手打造了基地这个品牌,并做大做强,分支涵盖全球。即便他杳无踪影,他的脸庞依旧是最好的代言。他自豪的宣称,只需两个武装分子举起一块基地组织字样的破布,美国的将军们便会争先恐后地冲向那里。
